From June 29 to July 2, 2026, the LGP2 laboratory<\/a>* hosted in Grenoble the first edition of the Cellulose International Summit<\/a>, an international scientific event dedicated to cellulose, its derivatives, advanced cellulosic materials, and their sustainable end-of-life management. This first edition was organized by the Cellulose Valley Chair<\/a> (Supported by the Grenoble INP Foundation<\/a>), the LGP2 laboratory<\/a>, and DurInnPack<\/a>, in partnership with Kanazawa University<\/a>, Centre Technique du Papier (CTP)<\/a>, Tec21<\/a>, Carnot PolyNat<\/a>, GlycoAlpes<\/a>, <\/strong>Grenoble INP \u2013 UGA<\/a> and the<\/strong>Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>

More than 150 participants from 60 countries took part in this international event, which brought together researchers, doctoral students, and industry professionals to discuss recent advances in the field of cellulose.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
