We are pleased to announce two upcoming hybrid Training Schools as part of the DIG4BIO project, aimed at providing researchers and professionals with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in bioprocess modeling and digital learning tools. These training sessions offer an opportunity to learn from experts, explore advanced modeling techniques, and enhance skills in bioprocess engineering. Mechanistic Modelling in Bioprocess Engineering: From Theory to Application Date: 31st March – 3rd April 2025 Format: Hybrid event This four-day training school will introduce participants to mechanistic modelling for microbial cultivations. The course covers the fundamentals of biological reaction rate models, guiding participants through […]

In this 4-day training school, attendees will explore and learn about the intricacies of mechanistic modelling for microbial cultivations. The course will cover the principles of describing microbial cultivations using biological reaction rate models, including selecting an initial model structure and determining model parameter values using example datasets. Through case studies and hands-on exercises, participants will gain a deeper understanding of these concepts and improve their ability to predict and optimize microbial cultivation processes for real-world applications in their research.

Advance use of BioVL and e-learning tools4 April 2025 – (CET Time) Hybrid event OBJECTIVES This workshop offers participants a comprehensive understanding and hands-on experience with a virtual laboratory developed at the Technical University of Denmark, BioVL. Attendees will learn how to access and leverage the e-learning platform for bioprocess modeling, along with methods for model simulation.
