Two new master curricula will be offered (Biorefinery Engineer; Bioresource ValueChain Manager) at Graz University of Technology (AT) and University of Twente (NL) from winter semester 2017 on.

Beside introduction of these new master programs, establishing a close connection between industry and regions is another major target for BET. This connection will guarantee a practical oriented education for students, working on practical problems already.

Finally a “network-of-networks” shall be established to maintain the connection between universities and regions/communities. Energy Agency Styria is offering its connections and is acting as binding element in Styria for a successful BET implementation at the local and regional level.
