Mention Génie biologique et chimique pour une bioéconomie durable
BIOCEB Publié le 05 mai 2022To deliver Bioceb vision, five European Higher Education Institutions pool complementary competences and approaches, all converging on the development of biotechnologies in the context of bioeconomy :
- Paris Institute of Technology for Life, Food and Environmental Sciences (AgroParisTech) - France
- University of Reims-Champagne-Ardenne (URCA) - France
- Aalto University - Finland
- Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) - Estonia
- University of Liège (ULiège) - Belgium
This consortium of five HEIs is supported by a network of 19 associated partners ; belonging either to academia or socio-economic world.
The added-value and originality of Bioceb relies on the integration of the consortium complementarities in a joint training programme, thus covering all the value chain, from plant resource to manufactured bioproducts, at all scales, from the gene to the industrial process, and addressing the related socio-economic and environmental stakes.
Objectifs
The European Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree Bioceb aims at providing top-level and up-to-date education in chemical and biological engineering applied to the design and development of bio-based products and processes. The objective is to provide all students with a solid multidisciplinary scientific background in biology, chemistry and biotetechnology, combined with a good knowledge of bio-based products markets, and value-chain sustainability assessement. Bioceb aims at training student to systemic approaches at different scales, from the biological cell to macroeconomic systems. The programme is built-up arround three key pedagological pillars: an academic programme (lecture and practice), a green-line multidisciplinary project carried out over the 2 years, and an internship. Bioceb have ambition to favor the graduates insertion in the professional world, through a cross-cutting approach related to innovation, entrepreneurship and dissemination. Thanks to Bioceb modular format, each student is given the opportunity to build-up his/her specific curriculum with a specialization in one major field of biotechnologies, among bioprocesses design and up-scaling, biomass engineering and valorisation, bioproducts design and production. In the framework of Bioceb programme, the Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy (BEB) track organised by AgroParisTech whithin the Integrative and Predictive Biology Master consists in a multi-disciplinary training providing :
in M1: knowledge on agro-ressources and biorefinery combined with skills in value chain sustainability assessment and economics
in M2: in-depth knowledge of plant biochemical diversity (in particular through secondary metabolites) and of the biotechnological tools (genetic modification, synthetic biology, innovative extraction strategies according to green chemistry principles) supporting innovation in bioeconomy. Besides the theoretical and experimental training in this scientific fields, the programme includes a course on bioeconomy and innovation to train the students to industry-driven approaches.
