Do you want to contribute to a biobased economy where organic waste is used as a raw material? Do you want to help to develop sustainable designs, building materials and products with a minimal carbon footprint? Do you want to learn how you can use your knowledge together with other professionals to take concrete steps towards a circular economy in the Netherlands? Then sign up for the Biobased Innovations minor!

The minor Biobased Innovations is updated! This minor aims at learning students to perform research in the biobased economy. In the future, the need for biobased materials and chemical building blocks thereof is growing. Therefore, research to develop the technologies needed to make the materials and the building blocks is essential. In this minor you will learn about the principles of the biobased economy, the technology behind it and you will learn to work in this field by working on a research project which is closely related to the research performed at the lectorate Biobased Innovations, connected to the CoE HAN BioCentre.
