We would like to invite you to the CBQF Day. This year the event will be held under the theme “How Green is Our Future?”, and aims to highlight the growth of Centre of Biotechnology and Fine Chemistry (CBQF), an Associated Laboratory with over 255 researchers devoted to research in four distinct lines: Environment and Resources; Food and Nutrition; Biological and Biomedical Products; and Fermentation Solutions.

We will address these themes from a cross-cutting perspective, exploring fundamental concepts such as sustainability and the Green Deal. Additionally, we seek to promote contact and collaboration with other associated laboratories throughout the country.

Join us on June 3rd, between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm.
