Bioceb (European Master in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy) is a 2-year joint master programme training future research and innovation managers to tackle the challenges related to the deployment of the bioeconomy across the world.

As a state-of-the-art and innovative curriculum, it was labeled “Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree” by the European Commission.

A vision based on a sustainable use of biological resources


Bioceb vision of the bioeconomy is based on a sustainable use of biological resources preserving biodiversity and favoring circular economy systems.

It offers students with backgrounds in disciplines related to biology the opportunity to achieve a specialization in one field of biotechnologies while developing the ability to implement systemic value chain approaches.

Biological resource diversity and optimal use, bioprocess design and upscaling, and biobased products engineering for targeted markets are the three pillars of Bioceb biotechnology training core.

An interdisciplinary and intercultural approach
