In France, on February 13 2014, at a unique conference in Europe at the Ecole Centrale de Lille, Franck Dumeignil (CNRS), coordinator of the EuroBioRef project, revealed the results of this biorefinery of the future research programme. This General Assembly concluded four years of research that brought together 29 partners from 15 countries involved in one of the largest, in terms of partnership and funding, European chemistry research projects.
