Comenzará con una conferencia a cargo del Dr. Luiz Pereira Ramos, profesor de la Universidad Federal de Paraná, y luego habrá una reunión de intercambio. La actividad finalizará con una visita a las instalaciones donde se encuentra el reactor de explosión a vapor, adquirido recientemente por el LATU en el marco de un convenio con ANCAP para el estudio de biocombustibles de segunda generación.

La etapa de intercambio se realizará mediante posters digitales, que deberán enviarse con anterioridad para cargarlos a las pantallas. Sugerimos incluir en estos el equipo de investigación, la temática desarrollada por el grupo, las capacidades e infraestructura que poseen, proyectos en ejecución, etc.

Agenda:

09:15 – 10:15 Conferencia del Dr. Luiz Pereira Ramos

10:15 – 12:00 Posters e intercambio

12:00 – 13:00 Visita a las instalaciones

Chris Harwood PhD expondrá: Como integrar la mejora genética y el manejo del sitio forestal para una producción sustentable / Integrating genetic improvement and site management for sustainable production

Harwood ha trabajado desde el año 1987 al 2017 en el CSIRO en Australia, como Senior Principal Research Scientist, Christopher Harwood continúa como Honorary Fellow de esta institución, y es asesor del World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) en temas de domesticación de árboles forestales. Es autor de numerosos trabajos científicos y técnicos.

Teotonio de Assis MSc expondrá: Potencial de híbridos interespecíficos de Eucalyptus para enfrentar problemas bióticos y ábioticos en plantaciones forestales / Potential of hybrids for Biotic and Abiotic issues

De Assis es consultor internacional en mejora genética y clonación de eucalyptus, siendo quien introdujo la técnica de la miniestacas. Ha trabajado en grandes empresas forestales brasileñas como Acesita, Bioplanta, Riocell, Klabin y Aracruz.

Esa Laurinsilta MSc expondrá: Valor a través de la Bio-Economía / Value through Circular Bioeconomy

Laurinsilta es director de alianzas estratégicas en UPM Tienen una robusta experiencia en desarrollo e innovación en el negocio forestal así como en la comercialización de tecnología en una amplio rango de industrias vinculadas a las ciencias biológicas. Su foco actual se encuentra en oportunidades en torno a la bio-economía y el desarrollo de alianzas tecnológicas.

Luego de las exposiciones se abrirá un espacio para preguntas y discusión

La entrada es libre y gratuita

La conferencia será transmitida por video conferencia a Facultad de Agronomía
