RE-SOURCE.BIO

RE-SOURCE.BIO combines the ITN-RESOURCE and the AOP:

Previously known as ITN-INFINITY, the ITN-RESOURCE.BIO clusters the international academic collaborations within AUGent with focus on bioresource recovery from by-products and waste streams in the agro-food value chain.

It specifically aims at:

• Supporting UGent international educational programs, with a strong collaboration with China;

• Fostering a vigorous student exchange - for all involved international partners, including a consolidated network with Asian Partners, we have a focus on Joint PhD development and establishment of a cohesive community around these PhDs;

• Outreaching to researchers through summers schools and participation at international conferences.
