Program in April 2021

Topic of the month:

Biobased products and co. - Alternatives for the future

Whether insulating material, chemical base materials for the production of plastics, or bio-herbicides: Renewable raw materials such as the biomass grass miscanthus offer many alternatives to crude oil or coal. Many by-products can also be used within the framework of a bio-based economy without competing with food production.
Off-topic events complement the thematic focus.

Unless otherwise noted, all events are held in German.

Businesses, start-ups, associations, and researchers will meet online on April 20-27, 2021, at the digital cooperation forum organized by the Forschungskreis der Ernährungsindustrie e.V. (FEI).

The meeting will focus on the potential of the digital transformation for the industry with the aim of providing ideas for new Industrial Cooperative Research (IGF) projects. There is a high demand for research intended for application, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises - so that not only the big players can profit from Big Data.

Prof. Jörg Hinrichs and Dr. Viktoria Zettel from the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology will provide insights into their research work at the University of Hohenheim during the RDI Cooperation Forum.

Livestream | Tuesday, 20 and 27 April 2021 | 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Public event | Free admission | With registration

Die Universität Hohenheim veranstaltet im Rahmen des Wissenschaftsjahrs 2020/21 „Bioökonomie“ die Hohenheimer Zukunftsgespräche. Die Veranstaltungsreihe startet am 28. April um 18 - 19:30 Uhr mit dem Thema

Wie nachhaltig kann Verpackung sein?

Die Menge an Verpackungsmüll steigt in Deutschland kontinuierlich. Verpackungen werden oft nur einmal genutzt und wandern anschließend in den Müll. Doch welche Lösungen braucht es, damit unser aller Umgang mit Verpackungen sauberer und nachhaltiger werden kann? Welche Innovationen entwickeln Forschung, Industrie und Handel? Welche politischen Hürden gibt es? Fragen wie diese greifen die Hohenheimer Zukunftsgespräche auf, stellen aktuelle Projekte vor und diskutieren Trends und kontroverse Aspekte.

Alle Interessierten sind herzlich eingeladen, an unserer Online-Diskussion teilzunehmen.
