DIBANET (FP7 project) Postgraduate Summer School in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

The School is designed for postgraduate students (Masters and PhD) in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, typically in their first or second years of research, who would like to engage together in the examination of technologies for the sustainable production of second generation diesel fuels, chemicals and biochars from the wastes, residues and non-food crops of Latin America and Europe. The course offers a unique opportunity for interaction with fellow students and leading international scientific and industrial experts from Europe and Latin America.

The Summer School is being organised in the frame of the DIBANET (Development of Integrated Biomass Approaches Network) project funded by the EU’s Seventh Framework Program on Research and Development.
