EN MONTEVIDEO
En el marco de CAETS 2018, estamos organizando un encuentro de investigadores nacionales en la temática Biorrefinería. 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
Si bien esta actividad está enmarcada en el CAETS 2018, el acceso es libre.
Los esperamos el jueves 13 de Setiembre de 2018, en el Club del Expositor del Parque Tecnológico del LATU (Av. Italia 6201).
