The BioEnergyTrain (BET) Consortium is organizing on the 14th of September 2017 in Graz a Buying-In Event, hosted by the Graz University of Technology.
The aim of the event is to involve companies, Higher Education Institutions and regional partners in cooperative educational activities complementing the two brand-new exclusive European master programmes on Biorefinery Engineering and Bioresource Value Chain Management starting this October at TU Graz, in Austria, and at the University of Twente, in the Netherlands.
The BioEnergyTrain (BET) project aims at addressing the lack of qualified personnel by filling the gaps in emerging innovation needs and providing an appropriate skilled workforce to implement the European Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan. The aim of this Buying-In Event is to attract local, national and international stakeholders to the project to join in offering project curricula, the cooperative educational formats developed by BET, and to further outreach programmes.
