The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) has received a positive assessment and funds for implementing a new International Master´s in Sustainability and Bioengineering within the framework of calls from Erasmus Mundus from the European Union. In the training proposal, the technological universities of Laaperanta (Finland) and Wroclaw (Poland) , which will be spearheading the project, will participate.
To implement it, the Master´s in Sustainable Biomass and Bioproducts Engineering (Sus2BioEng,) has received funds amounting to 4.32 million euros, which will cover five editions (six years).
In each year of the project around twenty engineering students from the whole world will take part (75% must be from outside the EU), which may study for a Master´s degree for two academic years. This includes six-month stays at each of the participating universities. In the final six months, which correspond to the end-of-master´s thesis, students will work at companies and research centres throughout Europe.
