On Wednesday, December 2, the Interreg ValBran project consortium is organising a webinar to disseminate its research results after 4 years of work on the theme of valorising wheat bran into biobased surfactants. This event, which was initially planned in Compiègne (France), will finally be held by videoconference to allow the largest number of people to attend (Belgians and French).
The formula has changed but the programme remains the same.
Download the program of the webinar.
