Digital frukost - How biotechnology contributes to a sustainable solution for the future. Video presentations now available

In January, Centre for Digital Life Norway, hosted an event looking at how biotechnology contributes to a sustainable solution for the future. Biotechnology has the potential to contribute significantly to a more sustainable future by providing solutions in various fields including energy, agriculture, and material development. Examples include the use of biofuels and hydrogen gas as alternative energy sources, genetically modified crops for sustainable agriculture, and biodegradable plastics as sustainable materials. By utilizing living systems, biotechnology can develop environmentally-friendly and sustainable technologies for a better future.

Now you can see video recordings of the presentations.

Video presentation: Introduction to the topic of sustainable business, with focus on the role of biotechnology (Kim Gabrielli, CEO, UN Global Compact Norge/ Norway).

Video presentation: OXYMOD-project - Professor Vincent Eijsink, Faculty of Chemistry, Biotechnology and Food Science, Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).

Video presentation: BEDPAN-project - Professor Dirk Linke, Section for Genetics and Evolutionary Biology, Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo (UiO).

About the seminars

"Digital Frukost" is an open breakfast seminar series focusing on research activities at the interface between the biological sciences and that of mathematics, computer science, physics or engineering. Examples of such research activities could be mathematical or computational modeling of biological systems, application of engineering/control systems theory on biological systems or inspired by biological systems, application of mathematics/statistics/machine learning to analyze big data in health or marine sector; from sensor systems, imaging or omics technologies etc.
