Master Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy
The Master 2 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy is included in the European Master in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy (Bioceb) which was labelled “Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree” (EMJMD) by the European Commission in 2019.
Bioceb is offered by a consortium of five european universities: Institut national des sciences et industries du vivant et de l’environnement (AgroParisTech)/Université Paris Saclay, Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA), Université de Liège (ULiège) - Belgium, Aalto University - Finland, Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) - Estonia.
The joint first semester (S1) at URCA provides a multidisciplinary scientific knowledge base and a shared culture in the field of agro-resources and their conversion through biorefinery processes. The second semester (S2) allows the students to enrich their technical and scientific experience with cross-cutting approaches dealing will value-chain sustainability assessment, with specific focus either on economics (AgroParisTech) or on green chemistry principles (TalTech). The third semester (S3) offers a specialisation in one of the key biotechnology approaches of bioeconomy: biomass engineering (AgroParisTech), bioprocesses (ULiège) and bio-based products (Aalto). The fourth semester (S4) is dedicated to a R&D internship, according to your specialization path and professional plans, leading to a Master’s thesis preparation and defence.
In this context, the objectives of the M2 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy at Université Paris-Saclay are:
• to provide in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of plant biochemical diversity and of the biotechnological tools (genetic modification, synthetic biology, innovative extraction strategies according to green chemistry principles) supporting innovation in bioeconomy
• to train students to implement industry-driven approaches for innovation in bioeconomy.
- To combine different disciplines in order to design new sustainable routes for the valorization of agro-resources or industrial waste.
- To carry out experiments in a scientific research approach for bioeconomy-related projects.
- To practice project engineering with knowledge of innovation processes and of the different stages leading to industrialization from laboratory research.
- To interact within a group and exploit the diversity of skills to carry out a project.
- To communicate scientific results.
- To discuss with people from different culture and take into account social and ethical expectations.

Pré-requis
The Master Bioceb is a two-year EMJMD (M1+M2). Consequently, the students applying for the M1, engage themselves to follow the M2. This Master comprises the track "Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy" (BEB) of the University Paris-Saclay national Master BIP.
The admission requirements for Bioceb are described here: http://www.bioceb.eu/
The M2 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy is also open to non-Bioceb students:
• Motivation letter.
• All transcripts of the years / semesters validated since the high school diploma at the date of application.
• Curriculum Vitae.
• Apply here: https://inception.universite-paris-saclay.fr/en/
Be careful:
• M1 Students applying to Master 2 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy do not apply to the European Master in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy (Bioceb) even though they will share courses with students from Bioceb. At the end of the M2, they will be awarded a Master 2 Biomass Engineering for Bioeconomy, delivered by the Université Paris-Saclay, operated by AgroParisTech ;
• For student admitted in the European Master in Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bioeconomy (Bioceb): the Master Bioceb is a two-year (M1+M2) programme. There is only one selection procedure for both years of Bioceb. When selected, students are admitted to first year (=M1) and the second year (=M2), that are inseparable – under the condition of passing all the exams from the first year. Students thus cannot be directly admitted to the Bioceb M2 without the interrelated Bioceb M1.
