Webinar Protein transition
On Thursday, May 16, the Lectorenplatform Biobased Economy organises the webinar 'Protein transitions". The protein transition is the shift from animal proteins towards using alternative protein sources such as micro-organisms and cell cultures. The transition is needed for a more sustainable food system.
In a series of theme sessions, we highlight a current research theme of the lecturers' platform to exchange knowledge and experience. Join this webinar where various speakers will share their insights on protein transitions. Topics that will be covered are the National Growth Fund Cellular Agriculture Netherlands (CAN), precision fermentation at University of Applied Sciences, and insights from Those Vegan Cowboys

Lunch & Learn: MYTHIC: MYcelium bio-composites for THermal Insulation in Construction
As much as 40% of all chemicals are aromatic in nature; this amounts to 122 million tons annually, worth €120 billion with an annual growth rate of 5%. So far, these aromatics are made from fossil raw materials and this has a negative impact on our environment. Manufacturers of products such as plastics, paints, adhesives, insulation foam and textiles use aromatics to impart their products with high-quality properties, such as scratch resistance, UV resistance, adhesive strength or gloss.
