INVITATION Are you interested in biochar and the benefits its production brings to their users in agriculture, construction, electronics, cosmetics, industry and many other sectors? E2BEBIS partners have the pleasure to invite you to attend the “Transnational conference on biochar” which will take place on 5th of September in Bergamo, (Italy) inside the “Fiera di Sant´Alessandro“, a fair dedicated to animal farming and floriculture. E2BEBIS will present its project and findings in a workshop as a part of this public event. E2BEBIS is an international project implemented by partners from five Central Europe countries (Italy, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia and Poland). E2BEBIS tackles the limited use of biochar in the region, the lack of a proper legal framework on biochar on EU and national levels, and the low awareness of the potential benefits of biochar among policy-makers and other stakeholders. You can find more information about the project in E2BEBIS webpage or suscribing to our newsletter. Don't miss the “Transnational conference on biochar” and this excellent opportunity to increase your knowledge about biochar production and the benefits for their users and the environment. Moreover, you can take fruitful agreements and contacts from it. Please, find the programme of the upcoming event enclosed in this document.
