The aim of the 10th Brainnovation day on ““Renewable Materials and Recycling” is to significantly increase dialogue and collaboration between the industry and AU. This year we will address this specific theme in the Renewable Materials and Recycling field, in particular, the many challenges associated with choice of technology, exploitation of new knowledge, applications etc.

The primary focus of the meeting is on challenges and discussion of relevant problems. During the day, representatives from Aarhus University, Norfalk, SDU, DTI and Syre will address the research and innovations taking place and describe some of the challenges they face. During the breaks there will be time for networking and brainstorming.
