Are you interested in the research behind these ideas? Our sister project, the Bio4MatPro Competence Network, has spent the last five years investigating how the biological transformation of industries can be achieved through a transformation in materials science and production engineering. The results and their significance for the future of the Rhenish mining area and translational research in the bioeconomy will be presented and discussed in advance over two half-days in the same venue.
