Thanks to&nbsp;its international character, participants gain interdisciplinary skills at&nbsp;the intersection of&nbsp;biotechnology, chemical engineering and environmental technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Words of&nbsp;thanks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Special thanks go&nbsp;to&nbsp;Micka\u00ebl Capron, the programme coordinator, whose vision, commitment and perseverance in&nbsp;building international academic cooperation have contributed greatly to&nbsp;the success of&nbsp;BIOREF European Master. Important contributions to&nbsp;the programme\u2019s&nbsp;development were also made by&nbsp;long-standing collaborators and lecturers, including Gennaro Agrimi, Angela Dibenedetto and Pauline Marty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A&nbsp;special meaning for PK&nbsp;KUT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Participation in&nbsp;BIOREF has special significance for our university. PK&nbsp;KUT\u2019s&nbsp;involvement in&nbsp;the project was initiated by&nbsp;the late Prof. El\u017cbieta Skrzy\u0144ska-\u0106wi\u0105kalska, whose vision of&nbsp;internationalising education and European cooperation laid the foundation for the university\u2019s&nbsp;participation in&nbsp;this prestigious initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The ceremony was an&nbsp;opportunity to&nbsp;reflect on&nbsp;the programme\u2019s&nbsp;achievements so&nbsp;far and to&nbsp;discuss its future. All partners share the hope that BIOREF will continue in&nbsp;the coming years, educating new generations of&nbsp;experts who support the development of&nbsp;a&nbsp;sustainable,
