About the research school Sustainable Biomass Systems

Last changed: 02 November 2020

The aim of the research school Sustainable Biomass Systems is to offer participating students broad knowledge and insight in the field of biomass systems, promoting contacts between researchers, society and industry.

The research school is an umbrella organization, open to all postgraduate students who are active within the field of sustainable biomass. Postgraduate students from other universities in Sweden and abroad are also most welcome to join the school, however SLU students are given priority in limited space.

A program to promote contacts with society and industry

The most significant activities are a series of courses and workshops, including  courses and study trips within the field of sustainable biomass. The courses aim to engage students in different aspects of biomass systems, such as technical, social, economical and environmental issues, as well as introduce students to tools for environmental assessment.
