Opportunity to join the Advisory Panel for EBC26

Dear Members,

We are re-launching the call for applications to join the Advisory Panel of the European Bioplastics Conference 2026 (EBC26).

The Advisory Panel will bring together a small group of senior experts from industry, research and academia to support the development of a high-quality, balanced and forward-looking conference programme.

Updated participation framework

Participation in the Advisory Panel does not exclude your organisation from obtaining a speaking slot at EBC26.

Advisory Panel members themselves should not act as speakers and must abstain from evaluating their own company’s abstract(s).

Why join the Advisory Panel?

• Shape the strategic direction and core topics of EBC26

• Contribute to a balanced representation of industry, science and academia

• Strengthen the credibility and impact of the conference programme

• Engage in peer-level exchange with a small group of recognised experts

Key responsibilities

• Defining and refining conference topics

• Reviewing and evaluating abstract submissions

• Providing structured feedback and ratings

• Working closely with the EUBP team while maintaining independent judgement

Timeline:

• 24 March 2026: EBC26 Advisory Panel completed 

• 24 - 27 March 2026: First Advisory Panel meeting (online)

• 30 March 2026: Topics for EBC26 programme defined

Given the tight timeline, we would highly appreciate your prompt response.

We look forward to hearing from you.
