Dansk Bioøkonomi Konference International temadag (in English)

How do we increase the application of biobased materials in construction?

Dansk Bioøkonomi Konference 2024 is a “special edition” with a thematical focus on agricultural bio building materials. This year’s conference is a merge with the start conference of Interreg North Sea project “Building Based on Bio Based” [BBOBB].

Aim of the conference: 

• To share North Sea Region state of art knowledge about 3 selected crops for biomaterials: hemp, cattail and flax.
• To demonstrate that with in EU there are mayor regulatory differences and that by learning from each other we may succeed better and faster

Target groups for the conference:

Academia and practicians. Primary focus on materials and construction but we hope to see whole value chain represented from farmer to builder.

Content:

• Presentations & debate
• Bio Based Building Materials display If you want to exhibit biobased material, please contact mej@guldborgsund.dk
