The aim of the BTechPro2024 conference is to promote the professional development of early career researchers and to establish contacts between research groups working on biomass processing challenges. The conference will not only be a platform for the participants to present their scientific work, give and get feedback from peers, listen to interesting plenary lectures, and submit a full-length article, but also a possibility to actively take part in workshops and participate in match-making activities.

All research related to different aspects of valorisation and characterisation of biomass are welcome, but the main topics of the conference will be:

• Biomass feedstock pre-treatment
• Biomass processing and extraction
• Biomass-based materials
• Bioengineering technologies
• Synthesis of bio-based chemicals and polymers
• Characterisation of biorefinery products
• Bioeconomy and environmental aspects
