Introduction

In the 'Ghent Bio-Economy' summer school, a comprehensive and integrated overview of the bio-based economy will be presented by a number of world-leading experts, who will cover the complete process from biomass to bioproduct. In addition, societal aspects that influence the consumer's behaviour will also be dealt with, such as the "food versus fuel” debate and the use of genetically-modified organisms (GMO). The summer school is mainly oriented towards PhD students working in the field and will be organized in the historical city of Ghent, Belgium.
