Bioceb, the European Master in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy, has been renewed
Stéphanie Baumberger, APSYNTH team, is responsible for the scientific coordination of this international programme
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) Bioceb is a 2-year all-in-English international programme built-up by 5 universities from 4 European countries:
> National Institute of Technology for Life, Food and Environmental Sciences (AgroParisTech) / Université Paris-Saclay (FR), coordinator
> Aalto University (FI)
> Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) (EE)
> University of Liège (ULiège) (BE)
> University of Reims-Champagne-Ardennes (URCA) (FR).
In line with the European Green Deal, it addresses the need for scientific experts sharing a holistic vision of the bioeconomy, based on sustainable use of biological resources and promotion of circular economy. Since its launch in 2019, Bioceb has welcomed 100 students representing 50 nationalities, with 88 graduates to date, and has awarded 79 Erasmus Mundus scholarships. It has built-up a network of 22 associated partners worldwide, including academic institutions such as INRAE, companies and competitiveness clusters.The IJPB has played a key role in the programme’s success, through the involvement of its staff in scientific coordination, the organisation of teaching units and on-site practical training, as well as in the supervision of group projects, Master’s internships, and PhD theses.
The project has been selected for new funding within the Erasmus+ call ERASMUS-EDU-2025-PEX-EMJM-MOB, with an expected support from the European Union of EUR 4,528,800 for 74 months. This funding will mainly be used to support four new cohorts of students through grants. The next application round will open in autumn 2025 for the first cohort starting in September 2026.
Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). Neither the European Union nor EACEA can be held responsible for them.
In connection with the research developed at the Institute Jean-Pierre Bourgin for Plant Sciences.
