5^th Lis­bon Microal­gae & Bio­tech­no­logy Advanced Course (LiMBAC) 2025

Organ­ized by A4F Algae for Future, a glob­al lead­er in bioeconomy and bio­tech­no­logy, LiMBAC is an intens­ive, hands-on course that takes par­ti­cipants on a jour­ney through the entire microal­gae pro­duc­tion pro­cess from labor­at­ory tech­niques to indus­tri­al-scale bio­mass pro­duc­tion. Wheth­er you’re a stu­dent or an industry pro­fes­sion­al, LiMBAC is designed to enhance your expert­ise and con­nect you with lead­ing experts and peers.

Who Should Attend?

• MSc, PhD, and Post-Doc­tor­al stu­dents in bio­logy, chem­istry, or bio­chem­ic­al engineering.
• Industry pro­fes­sion­als eager to deep­en their know­ledge and gain prac­tic­al skills in microal­gae production.

Why Choose LiMBAC?

• LiMBAC offers unpar­alleled insights into microal­gae bio­tech­no­logy, including:
• Com­pre­hens­ive cov­er­age of the microal­gae pro­duc­tion value chain — from cul­tiv­a­tion to biore­finery and extraction.
• Extens­ive prac­tic­al exper­i­ence in our labor­at­or­ies and pilot unit, ensur­ing par­ti­cipants engage in every stage of the pro­duc­tion process.
• A unique oppor­tun­ity to vis­it a large-scale indus­tri­al facil­ity, gain­ing firsthand expos­ure to com­mer­cial operations.
• Net­work­ing oppor­tun­it­ies with lead­ing research­ers, industry pion­eers, and like-minded peers.

Course High­lights
