People at the campus

Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research (CESAER) functions as the united voice of universities of science and technology in Europe. CESAER’s Task Force Openness of Science and Technology brings together leading experts in Europe to discuss topics such as open access, open research, responsible internationalisation, and global engagement in S&T.

Task Force Openness of Science and Technology reports and publications, as well as CESAER’s other position papers, are openly available: https://www.cesaer.org/publications/  

This event at Aalto University from 16 to 17 April is the major annual in-person event of the task force, in addition to the CESAER Annual Meetings (CAM) 2024 from 16 to 18 October hosted by the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.

Participation in the event is by invite only.

A Flexible Biorefinery using Machine Learning

Biorefineries convert biomass, such as wood, annual plants or agricultural into products and energy. Research teams in Finland and Germany aim to maximize such product output for a more holistic valorization of our natural resources. The development of these new processes is often slow because they require optimization of many factors. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) can help us accelerate such a development drastically.
