UKERC/RELU Bioenergy Event
St Hughs College, University of Oxford, 24th April 2007
A one-day meeting to bring together the main research council bio-energy investments in the UK (Supergen Biomass, TSEC BIOSYS, RELU) with the broad goal of improving the coherence of the UK's research effort in the bio-energy field
More specifically, the meeting aims to increase awareness of each others' work and to identify synergies, complementarities, possible overlaps, and any forward actions needed. The meeting is sponsored and organised by the UKERC Meeting Place in association with the Research Councils' Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) Programme.
