As part of the ReSolve project, a workshop with stakeholders is planned as a pre-conference event at EFIB-2019, on September 30, 2019, in Brussels.

The ReSolve project, funded by the EU under the umbrella of the BBI JU, aims to replace the dangerous conventional solvents toluene and NMP with biobased alternatives that are safer.

During the stakeholder workshop, the project partners will discuss the results and challenges to date. All workshop participants can participate in the welcome reception of EFIB 2019 afterwards.

The workshop is free, but there is limited space, so registering in advance is necessary.
