Circular Bioeconomy Symposium - 20 Years of Collaboration Between Offenburg and Olsztyn

Shaping the Future Together: Offenburg & Olsztyn Celebrate a Milestone

We are delighted to invite you to a special event celebrating a unique academic achievement. The “Circular Bioeconomy Symposium – 20 Years of Offenburg/Olsztyn Collaboration” marks the 20th anniversary of our joint master’s program in “Process Engineering”—a successful collaboration between Hochschule Offenburg and the University of Warmia and Mazury (UWM) in Olsztyn.

For two decades, this program has transcended borders and enabled students to benefit from the best of both Germany and Poland. The collaboration was expanded in 2018–19 to include the joint Master’s program in Biotechnologie (MBT). Supported by the outstanding and long-standing commitment of the Georg and Maria Dietrich Foundation, this partnership has not only shaped the careers of countless engineers but has also fostered deep binational synergy in the fields of process engineering and Biotechnologie.

To mark this occasion, we are bringing together alumni, researchers, industry representatives, and students to look back on twenty successful years and discuss the sustainable technical solutions of tomorrow.

Here’s what you can expect:

This symposium is more than just a professional conference; it is both a reunion and a glimpse into the future:

Academic Excellence: Immerse yourself in technical sessions on biocatalytic food systems, advanced biogas technologies, contributions to environmental analytics, and thermal conversion concepts for CO2 reduction.

Networking & Reunions: Strengthen the connections between our universities and industry partners. Network and forge new collaborations.

Interactive Insights: Visit poster sessions presented by doctoral students, participate in workshops on science communication (gamification), or discover current research projects during exclusive lab tours.
