Open postdoctoral position in PROSE unit, INRAE (Antony, Île-de-France) on bioelectrochemical biogas upgrade (24 months starting spring 2024)

To meet growing energy demands sustainably, economies need to prioritize bioenergy and biogas from waste materials, such as agro-industrial waste. However, biogas produced from such waste must undergo significant upgrading to enable its injection into the gas grid. To contribute to the forthcoming energy transition we are seeking to develop a bioelectrochemical biomethanation process to…

Three regional ISMET 2026 Conferences: Call for Proposals Open

The ISMET Conference Committee is pleased to announce a call for proposals toorganize the next regional ISMET meetings in 2026. These are the premier regionalmeetings in North-America (NA-ISMET), Europe (EU-ISMET), and the Asian-Pacific area(AP-ISMET) on microbial electrochemistry and technology. We especially encourage theEU and AP community to prepare a proposal, since those meetings happened in…
