ADVISORY BOARD

Members of the Advisory Board have been selected on the basis of their expertise in their domain and of their international view of European bioeconomy systems, and in particular of biomass supply systems and bio-based value-chains. The purpose of the AB is to reach out to and seek advice from potential users of the DESTINY research results, which may also be interested in hiring the DESTINY graduates. Some of the AB members are also willing to take part in the training programme or dissemination activities of DESTINY.
