Program

Brazil is facing a crisis with huge impacts in science and technology. It is time, not to discuss Bioenergy per se, but to think about the role doctorates in Bioenergy will play in our society.

In our first symposium, we will talk about "Bioenergy & Brazil" from different perspectives: economy, biogeography, history and society, industries, entrepreneurship and jobs! You will be invited to think about the next steps in of your carreer and your responsibilities while holding a Brazilian PhD diploma in Bioenergy.

Is Bioenergy going to make Brazil a developed country? Do we have all the tools? people? academies? industries?
