Following the success of the previous edition of the CELLIENCE webinar, the Cellulose Valley Chair is repeating the event in 2024. It will take place on December 10 from 1pm to 5pm.
CELLIENCE: A webinar dedicated to the science of cellulose
CELLIENCE is a webinar dedicated to the science of cellulose, with the aim of sharing knowledge about this biosourced, recyclable and biodegradable material. It's a free, international online event. During the event, several speakers will present cellulose applications in various fields.
The first edition, held on December 12, 2023, was a great success, with over 480 registrants from all over the world.
