First European Summer School on Bio-based Composites
The European Summer School on Bio-based Composites (ESBBC) is a unique event in Europe for master students, PhD students and young researchers working on bio-based composites wishing to learn, exchange experience and technical information on this multidisciplinary scientific field.
Research on bio-based composites has developed at national and international levels during the last decades. Several European projects focused on bio-based composites are currently funded via H2020, Interreg or Era-NET. In this context, ESBBC aims at creating a critical mass and momentum about this important research topic by gathering the main academic and technical players around a new Summer School completely dedicated to the field of bio-based composites and their development.
This first edition is organised under the auspices of the European projects SSUCHY, FLOWER, NETFIB and FiberNet and hosted by the FEMTO-ST Institute at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon, France.
The event will cover three main topics:
- Testing
- Manufacturing, design and durability
- End of Life management, sustainability assessment, circular bioeconomy
Highlights and Provisonal Programme
- Keynote lectures given by European experts
- Lectures & hands-on tutorials
- Presentation of European projects associated with ESBBC
- Flash presentations from selected student attendees
- Workshop dedicated to scientific journal writing
- Social events (for onsite participants)
Participation
The summer school will run from the 6th to 8th of July 2021 in a hybrid format:
Onsite (Besançon, France): Limited number of participants (PhD students and early-career researchers) who will be selected by the Scientific Committee from the abstracts received.
The selected young researchers will have the opportunity to present their work during a dedicated "Flash presentations session" and compete for the Best flash presentation Award.
More information about the application process on the dedicated webpage "Application" (deadline 31/03/2021).
Online: Unlimited number of participants, no selection process.
