The University of  Science and Technology in Wroclaw (Poland) yesterday received twenty students which made up the first edition of the Erasmus Mundus Master´s in Bioproducts Engineering and Sustainable Biomass, a programme coordinated at this Polish institution and directed by professor Jolanta Warchol and  in participation with the universities of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) and Technology in Laaperanta-Lahti (Finland). 

Promoted by the Department of Chemical Engineering at the  UCLM, the Master´s in Bioproducts Engineering and Sustainable Biomass provides qualification training for designing, developing and implementing technologies and solutions for the sustainable use of renewable resources. Students from sixteen different countries will also be able to make products from biological resources, including biofuels, bioenergy, biochemical products, bioplastics, paper, construction materials, biocompounds and their applications.

The course, at whose inauguration, the chancellor of the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology and the dean of the UCLM Faculty of Chemical Sciences and Technologies, Manuel Andrés Rodrigo, also participated, will consist in four semesters in the field of chemical engineering which will be equivalent to one hundred and twenty ECTS credits. Each student will obtain a grant of 1400 euros a month for the entire study period.

During their stay in Spain, those students enrolled will carry out their work at the Department of Chemical Engineering, at the Faculty of Chemical Sciences and Technologies at the University of  Castilla-La Mancha, on the Ciudad Real campus.
