Centres of Excellence (CoE) in the field of biomass and waste reutilisation for Bio-products– Brief questionnaire

As part of the European Commission funded project AQUATERRE - “Integrated European Network for biomass and waste reutilisation for Bioproducts” a list of Centres of Excellence in the field of biomass and waste reutilisation will be assembled. The primary aim of this co-ordination action is to promote the cooperation between research centres, business and other stakeholders in Europe devoted to the research, development and application of biomass and biofuel production and valorisation. It will aim integration and unification of efforts and the exchange of knowledge and expertise between partners, to promote the creation of a network for improving biomass and waste reutilisation.

In this context a database of Centres of Excellence in research on biomass and waste reutilisation including details of work, research projects, publications, patents, citations, PhD theses, awards, etc. will be compiled and published on the AQUATERRE website. Furthermore the list of Centres of Excellence in relevant research will be part of a final report elaborated for public dissemination. If you would like your organisation to be part of this Centres of Excellence database, please complete the questionnaire below.
