Lignobiotech III Symposium

The Biotechnology Center of the University of Concepción, invites you to participate in the Lignobiotech III Symposium, to be held in October 2014 in Concepción, Chile. The third edition of ‘Lignobiotech’ will examine the biotechnology and related sciences of lignocellulosic biomass for pulp, fuels, chemicals and materials, including fundamental, applications, economy and environmental issues.

The evolution from the International Conference on Biotechnology in the Pulp and Paper Industry ICBPPI to Lignobiotech,  was based on the necessity to share the capitalized knowledge on biotechnologies acquired in pulp and paper sector with the community working in the more general field of biomass transformation. The first edition was in Reims , France  and the second  in Fukuoka, Japan.

This third edition will take place in South America,  were the forest sector and biofuels have a successful development.
