Bioeconomy responds to the environmental challenges the world is facing, oriented to reduce the dependence on natural resources, transform manufacturing and promote sustainable production of renewable plant, microbial and animal resources and their conversion into food, feed, materials, bio-based products and bioenergy, while growing new jobs and industries.
Biotechnology is one of the keys enabling technologies to sustain a new green and sustainable economy (i.e. bioeconomy), offering solutions for efficient and sustainable production of plant and microbial biomasses; the production of bioenergy from (waste) biomasses; environmental protection and safety in terms of bioremediation; green chemistry processes and applications; sustainable agri-food production and processes, circular economy.
In this context, the BforB Master's degree, fully taught in Englishaims at providing students with advanced molecular and cellular background of microbial and plant systems, which are the basis for the several sectors of the biotechnologies applied to the bio-economy. The BforB Master's degree will equip students with solid and broad expertise about the structure and function of biological macromolecules of interest for the bioeconomy sector, and complete knowledge about the analyses of informational molecules and the expression of characters with a special focus on multidisciplinary and integrated approaches. The BforB Master's degree will provide theoretical and practical instruments for the set-up, analyses and improvement of biotechnological processes for:

  1. the transformation of renewable raw materials in biotechnological processes exploiting microorganisms, plants and enzymes;
  2. plant and microbial-based bioremediation strategies;
  3. bio-based approaches in food and agriculture sustainable development

The BforB Master'sdegree will be taught entirely in English, providing the students with knowledge and competencies that can be spent at European and extra European levels, with which the bioeconomy sector is faced. Moreover, the English language will allow the participation of students from out of Italy, making the Master's degree a stimulant international learning environment.
