On June 21th and 22th, the REBIOLUTION consortium gathered for its inaugural Kick-Off Meeting at the prestigious BASF headquarters in Ludwigshafen, Germany. This pivotal event not only marked the first in-person encounter among partners but also provided a dynamic platform for the exchange of ideas, insights, and the presentation of each company’s vision for the extensive collaborative work to be undertaken over the next three years.
The consortium, a synergistic amalgamation of expertise, is composed of nine distinguished partners representing seven different countries.
This international alliance includes BASF SE (Germany), Normec OWS NV (Belgium), HYDRA MARINE SCIENCES GMBH (Germany), CONTACTICA S.L (Spain), AVANTIUM RENEWABLE POLYMERS BV (Netherlands), TAMPEREEN KORKEAKOULUSAATIO SR (Finland), STORA ENSO OYJ (Finland), CENTRE TECHNIQUE DE L’INDUSTRIE DES PAPIERS CARTONS ET CELLULOSES (France), and EIDGENOESSISCHE TECHNISCHE HOCHSCHULE ZUERICH (Switzerland).
Innovation through a guided tour of the facilities at BASF
Beyond the productive sessions, participants had the unique opportunity to delve into the heart of innovation through a guided tour of the facilities at BASF. Exploring these cutting-edge spaces provided valuable insights into the collaborative environment and technological infrastructure that will underpin the project’s ambitious goals.
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean.
A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.
Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas. There live the blind texts.
She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road
