• Everything new, exciting, and bioplastic-related that should be part of our programme!
  

Interested? Please fill out the online abstract template. 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, submit  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 chance to be selected as a speaker.
