Pedagogy
Biotechnologies for biomass conversion (algae, cellulose, etc.): 20 h Lecture/seminar Knowledge: • Have knowledge of major industrial processes involving homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis for the conversion of biomass • Have skills in production of molecules, including one or more catalytic steps from bio-based building blocks • Know the main processes of enzymatic catalysis Competences The student acquires a scientific approach in the implementation of enzymatic catalysis for transformation and valorization of biomass for biomolecule and chemical production. This concerns a future engineer or researcher, and is valid for any industry in biotechnology, both public and private.

Prerequisites
Students wishing to take this training must have a good background in catalysis and must be aware of the most usual reactions (and of the main moieties of interest) in organic chemistry, together with having a broad basic knowledge of the main current techniques used in spectrochemistry. The multidisciplinary nature of the topic addressed in the lectures also requires a good general culture and a spirit of curiosity that is not limited to chemistry but also touches on all scientific disciplines.
