Star-COLIBRI project: biorefinery clustering
Past events
High-level Policy-maker Conference on Biorefineries
Our High-level Policy-maker Conference on Biorefineries took place on 5 October 2011 at the prestigious Solvay Library in Brussels, in what was the final event of the Star-COLIBRI project. A panel of high-level speakers came together to discuss key policy priorities in the context of the upcoming bio-economy strategy. Special emphasis was given to the important role of biorefineries in achieving the ambitious goals set out in the strategy, such as resource-efficiency, sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction. One of the highlights of the event was the official publication of the Joint European Biorefinery Vision for 2030 and the Joint European Research Roadmap 2020.

European Expert Forum on Biorefineries
The European Expert Forum Conference on Biorefineries took place on 12-13 April 2011 in Budapest, in the framework of the Hungarian Presidency of the European Union. The event brought together industry and research representatives from all around Europe, as well as policymakers from the European Commission and Hungarian government representatives, reaching a total of 110 participants.
The programme gathered top-level speakers from industry, research and policy, thus providing us with different perspectives on biorefineries, highlighting different parts of the value-chain and the importance of biorefinery development for a broad range of sectors.
