Bio-Uptake Project Webinar

Advances and Lessons Learned in Injection Moulding, Thermoforming, Digitalisation and Environmental Performance of Bio-Based Composites

This webinar is an online event hosted by the School of Engineering in the University of Limerick. This workshop brings together speakers on composite materials from European Industry and academia. The focus is on composites and sustainable composites which may contribute to a future Circular Bioeconomic model.

Feel free to join and leave whenever you wish, depending on the session you are interested in.
