If you would like to contribute to this year’s conference, please fill out the abstract template and send it to conference(at)european-bioplastics.org. As in the past years, we also invite proposals for poster presentations, giving researchers and new projects a stage to introduce their findings in the fields of biopolymer research, packaging, and building blocks. Sounds like a good opportunity? Then, please, contact us with your proposal.

To create the best possible programme for our conference, please note that we have a thorough evaluation process. Kindly provide us with as much detail as possible to increase your chances of being picked as a speaker.
