Bioeconomy and RawMatters Research Infrastructures

BIOECONOMY Research Infrastructure contains research laboratories, characterisation and analysis equipment and modeling and simulation tools in the field of biorefinery. The research enabled by the infra can be divided to process technology, industrial biotechnology and material science aiming to novel products and process solutions utilizing renewable and preferably non-edible biomass. For further information, see BIOECONOMY web page.

RawMatters Research Infrastructure (RAMI) covers the research facilities that operate in the field of inorganic materials. The research enabled by the infra can be divided to materials science and chemistry, electrochemistry, metal processing and recycling. For further information, see RAMI web page.

All equipment available via this booking system belong to either Bioeconomy or RawMatters infrastructure as named in the equipment headings. Please note that the infrastructures need to be appropriately acknowledged in all publications that have benefitted from the use of the research facilities.
