Mundus BIOREF

Master Bioref

The Biorefinery Master Programme is a course that has been jointly developed by the University of Lille (ULILLE) in France, the University of Bari (UNIBA) in Italy, the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT) in France and the Tadeusz Kościuszko University of Technology (PK) in Poland. The key personnel involved in the design and the structuring of the Master programme have a long-standing collaboration in the frame of EuroBioRef.

EuroBioRef, (European Multilevel Integrated Biorefinery Design for Sustainable Biomass Processing) was a major European R&D project in the field of biomass conversion which came to an end at the end of 2013, in part funded by the European Commission under the FP7 research programme. The main goal of the EuroBioRef project was to develop a new highly integrated and diversified biorefinery concept including multiple feedstocks (non-edible), multiple processes (chemical, biochemical, thermochemical), and multiple products (aviation fuels and chemicals). A major outcome of this program was the lack of specialized training and education in the topic of biorefineries and biomass valorisation in Europe and worldwide, especially in developing countries.

The Biorefinery Master Programme is the logical continuation to educate and train skilled individuals able to interact and work in such new biomass-based industries, integrating its environmental impacts along the value chains. Building on the acquired experience and expertise, the four participating Universities have designed an integrated, highly effective two-year Master Programme of specialized education in biomass exploitation to multiple fuels and chemicals in an integrated sustainable biorefinery concept.
