Best regards PS: Crowdfunding is everywhere and we, too, will offer our customers crowdfunding activities in the future. Dr. med Franjo Grotenhermen, expert for natural medicine and co-owner of nova-Institute now started a global crowdfunding campaign for cannabis as medicine: “Say Yes to Cannabis as Medicine”. |
Hier geht es direkt zu den deutschsprachigen Hinweisen…
On a personal note: nova supports crowdfunding for patient rights and information on medical cannabis
Dr. med. Franjo Grotenhermen is one of the founders of nova-Institute, nova’s expert for pharmacology and therapeutic uses of medical plants as well as a practicing physician working with chronically ill patients. In his spare time, he is advocating the right of access to cannabis-based medicine for patients in need, working with the charity “Medical Cannabis Declaration (MCD)”.
Right now MCD is running a crowdfunding campaign to kick-start a multi-lingual information campaign to create a network for medical professionals and patients alike and make scientific information available for everyone. If you want to get an idea of what access to cannabis as medicine means to patients and medical professionals, take a look at the videos.
nova-Institute supports this cause and hopes you do, too. Donate at Indiegogo www.indiegogo.com/projects/say-yes-to-cannabis-as-medicine–5#

bioplastics MAGAZINE is organizing the 4th PLA World Congress
24-25 May 2016 in Munich, Germany
PLA is one of the bioplastics with the largest market significance. The versatile biobased plastic raw material is made almost completely from renewable resources. It is being used for packaging applications, for fibres in woven and non-woven applications. Even the automotive industry and consumer electronics are already applying PLA. Blending PLA with other bioplastics or other blend-partners as well as mixing it with natural fibres such as flax, hemp or kenaf broadens the range of applications even more.

Microalgae Process Design: from cells to photobioreactors (4th edition)
8 – 15 July 2016, Wageningen, The Netherlands
The waters of the world, oceans, seas, rivers, creeks, lakes and even ice, house a tremendous variety of microorganisms able to use light as the only source of energy to fuel metabolism. These unicellular organisms, microalgae and cyanobacteria, have the potential to produce a variety of products. To make economical large-scale production of such bulk products possible, the cost price for production needs to be reduced, the scale of production needs to be increased substantially and the biomass value should be maximized. In this course “Microalgae Process Design: from cells to photobioreactors” the biology and cultivation part are covered.

EPNOE Brokerage event 2016 “Meeting between EPNOE members and companies not members of EPNOE”
11-12 July 2016, Paris (France)
EPNOE, the European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence, will organise an event aimed at offering the opportunity of companies not members of EPNOE to meet EPNOE members (major research organisations in polysaccharide and polysaccharide-based product research and innovation in Europe). During these two days of meeting, face-to-face pre-arranged meetings will be organised to meet EPNOE members for confidential discussion. Registration is free, but compulsory (deadline June 25, 2016).
To get more information on EPNOE and on this next event, you can visit the EPNOE website.
Microalgae Biorefinery (1st edition)
18 – 20 July 2016, Wageningen, The Netherlands
To make microalgae a source of bulk products, the cost price for production needs to be reduced, the scale of production needs to be increased significantly and the biomass value should be maximized. To develop a more sustainable and economically feasible process, all biomass components (e.g. proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) should be used at minimal energy requirements and minimal costs while keeping the functionality of the different biomass components. Biorefining of microalgae is very important for the selective separation and use of the functional biomass components. In this course, ‘Microalgae Biorefinery’, the downstream part, i.e. the biorefinery will be in focus.
