EUBCE 2021: Abstracts Submission Deadline Extended!
Dear EUBCE Community,
Today is the deadline for EUBCE 2021 abstracts submissions.
As such, if you have not yet submitted your abstract, we kindly encourage you to do so today.
For the many of you who have already submitted your papers: thank you.
The EUBCE Scientific Committee will use your contributions to generate an inspiring conference founded in scientific excellence – a conference that reflects the promising times we are living and the innovations that will enable us to achieve a low-carbon future.
Our aim is to create a programme that showcases novelty, as well as a digital networking platform that supports catalytic discussions about the latest trends, developments, and challenges of the global biomass sector.
We look forward to welcoming you in April!
EUBCE: The Leading Platform for Global Biomass Innovation
Each year, EUBCE brings together the greatest minds and latest advancements in biomass, with the aim of accelerating research and market uptake across the globe. During the conference, over 2,000 experts from both academia and industry share and discuss groundbreaking ideas, technologies, applications, and solutions for the sourcing, production, and utility of biomass.
The scientific programme is coordinated by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
La EUBCE est la plus grande conférence et exposition internationale sur la recherche, les technologies du secteur biomasse. Elle réunit la communauté mondiale de la science et de l’industrie de la biomasse et de la bioeconomie, , plus de 2,000 experts, pour présenter et discuter des dernières évolutions et innovations et susciter des rencontres.
Le programme scientifique est coordonné par le Centre Commun de recherche de la Commission européenne.
Die EUBCE ist die größte Biomassenkonferenz- und ausstellung der Welt.
Jedes Jahr bringt die EUBCE die besten Forscher der aktuellen Fortschritte im Biomassensektor zusammen, mit dem Ziel, sowohl die Forschung, als auch die weltweite Marktaufnahme zu beschleunigen. Auf der Konferenz teilen und diskutieren über 2000 Akademie- und Industrieexperten Ideen zu neuen Entwicklungen von Technologien und deren Anwendung, sowie Lösungen zur Beschaffung, Produktion und Nutzung von Biomasse.
Das wissenschaftliche Programm wird vom gemeinsamen Forschungszentrum der Europäischen Kommission koordiniert.
EUBCE是世界上最大的生物质会议和展览。
每年EUBCE都会汇聚最伟大的创新思想和最新的生物质发展，以加速全球研究和市场吸收。 在会议期间，来自学术界和行业的2,000多位专家分享并讨论了有关生物质的采购，生产和使用的突破性想法，技术，应用和解决方案。

Message to scientists from all over the world to attend EUBCE

EUBCE Global Reach
The EUBCE reaches a global (more than 80 countries) audience and expects more than 5000 online-participants (2020 data). In the online edition we are committed to outreaching presenters and audience who usually have less opportunity to participate in a real world conference.
Today we want to invite all scientists from around the globe to submit abstracts and papers for the next edition of the e-EUBCE. It is a big opportunity for all involved in biomass science.
(read more below)
We feel as much as many of you that it is unfortunate not to meet in person at this world-class-event. However, the very positive experience we had with the online e-EUBCE last July 2020 confirmed that we can also provide new opportunities to all scientists around the globe, in particular to younger ones at the beginning of their career or still at the university. If no travel takes place, it is the opportunity for many of you who face travel restrictions for long-distance trips, budget shortages or just difficulty in accommodating “away-from-home”-time in their private life or because of work commitments.
This is why we engage in enhancing our online services which bring on one hand the EUBCE 2021 closer to your home and on the other even increase the opportunities to meet new people, to get to know the scientific audience and to establish new scientific collaborations.
Instead of making you travelling, we will come to your place, no matter whether it is at home, in the office, in the lab or even your holiday retreat. You will have the world of biomass-science and technology accompanying you, wherever you like, whenever you want, and whenever it is convenient.
Amongst the novelties which we want to introduce or enhance are:
- Mini-orals together with poster-presentation: If your abstract is selected for such a presentation, you will have the opportunity to present your poster live. You can choose also any pre-recorded format for this presentation, as video or audio only, as long as it does not exceed three minutes. A good opportunity to make yourself visible! After the presentation you will have the possibility to be in a chat-room with the interested audience.
- An enhanced experience within the virtual exhibition where you can get brochures, infos, watch our exhibitors’ videos and make an appointment with the stand personnel.
- Online meeting possibilities with groups of people, discussions and virtual coffee breaks.
But this is not all: by participating with your presentation at the online e-EUBCE you will have a straight-forward opportunity to develop your scientific career with a contribution, which will be
- published online under a full open access policy on the EUBCE proceedings website, indexed in Scopus, the world’s largest database of peer-reviewed research literature and coded by a digital identifier (DOI code) to guarantee an unequivocal and permanent identification and citability (in case of full paper submission)
- featured in the Be Sustainable Magazine (which selects cutting-edge contributions)
Authors that request the peer-review process during the abstract submission will be considered for inclusion in the following Scientific Journals:
- Biomass & Energy by Elsevier (Impact Factor 3.55): publishes a number of papers following the full refereeing process of the journal. Authors can ask for papers to be published in the Biomass and Bioenergy special issue and at the abstract approval stage recommendations for selected papers to be submitted.
- Energies | an open access Journal from MDPI (Impact Factor 2.70) produces a special issue comprising papers either recommended by the editors or offered by authors who have made a presentation at the annual EUBCE conference. Papers are fully refereed, and with the journal prioritising online publication, open access is usually achieved typically within 50 days from first submission.
If you present in the EUBCE 2021 you will be
- considered for the 2021 Poster Awards in recognition of the most outstanding presentations of each conference topic (in case of a mini-oral with Poster presentation);
- considered for the 2021 Student Award in recognition of the most remarkable and outstanding research work in the field (if requested during the abstract submission).
Let us meet online in April 2021!
We hope you will find this EUBCE just coming in the right time for you, and wish you inspiration for sending us a good abstract.
Message from the Technical Programme Chair
It is a great honour to invite you to attend the 29th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE) to be held in Marseille, France, from 26th to 29th of April 2021. Decarbonisation is at the core of energy and climate policy in the European Union. The European Green Deal reasserts the European Commission’s commitment to tackling climate and environmental challenges to reach a carbon-neutral society by 2050. The European Commission’s proposal for the first European Climate Law at a legally binding target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. [read more]
Message from the Industry Coordinator
Dear Bioeconomy industry representative, the Covid-19 pandemic has added a new complexity on the way we operate but at the same time it presents an opportunity to advance our common fight in mitigating climate change and meeting the Paris 2050 Agreement goals for net zero. The necessity for economic and social recovery, both at global and national level, mandates a strong drive for renewables in whatever form and this appears to be recognised by most governments with rare exceptions. At least it is recognised by the EU with the Recovery Plan. [read more]
