Based on the Scientific Committee’s evaluation, the top three abstracts will be awarded a bursary from the Organizing Committee to cover the conference registration fee.

Abstract submission

Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers are invited to continue submitting abstracts and contributing to discussions with an international community of experts in the bioeconomy and agro-forestry sectors. Abstract submissions will remain open until all presentation slots are filled, with the Scientific Committee providing decisions within approximately two weeks of submission. Early submission is strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for travel planning and participation arrangements.

Conference themes

Authors are invited to submit contributions addressing one or more of the following thematic areas:

1. Circular Economy Models for Agriculture and Forest Raw Materials

Sustainable and synergetic resource management practices (land use, cultivation, harvesting) to secure Agro-forestry raw materials for the biorefining industry in a zero-waste manner. The inclusion of non-wood resources (annual plants, industrial crops, agricultural wastes) to the raw material supply chain for biomass refining would ease the pressure on wood shortage, further mitigating the climate change while still conserving the biodiversity.

2. Pathways for Agro-Forestry Raw Materials Integration into Biorefining Industry

Innovative logistical, technological, or operational practices for incorporating non-wood feedstocks into existing wood-based biorefining industries. Topics include supply-chain redesign, quality standardization, pre-processing treatments, and hybrid feedstock strategies.

3. Sustainable Agriculture and Forest Management and Certification Systems

Advances in responsible land-use practices, certification schemes, and standards that align agricultural and forestry systems. Works in streamlining the existing Agricultural and Forest certification frameworks in the context of synergizing the two sectors. This includes case studies on Agro-Forestry models, best practices on Agro-Forestry management, verification frameworks, and collaborative governance mechanisms.

4. Policy Instruments and International Frameworks for the Bioeconomy

Analysis of regulatory approaches, governance structures, incentives, and financing mechanisms shaping the development of sustainable bioeconomy systems at national and global scales.

5. Innovative Pulping and Processing Technologies for Alternative Biomass

Innovative solutions in terms of both process chemistry and engineering for processing the new raw material supply chain (non-wood and wood) to fibers of adequate quality. Reinvention of fiber products formation (pulp, paper, board, textile, micro-/nano-cellulose) to fully exploit the potential of blending non-wood and wood fibers.

6. Public-Private Partnerships for Scaling Sustainable Solutions

Case studies and frameworks for effective collaboration between government, industry, academia, and local communities. Emphasis on risk-sharing models, technology deployment, and coordinated investment to accelerate sustainable biomass utilization.
