EPNOE: The new European polysaccharide network of excellence
Résumé
The European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence (EPNOE) is composed of 17 research groups from nine countries, covering the entire range of expertise: all the major polysaccharides (starch, cellulose, hemicelluloses, alginates, chitin) and all necessary disciplines (including chemistry, biology, enzymology, modelling, physics, processing, materials science, simulation, life cycle analysis and economics) are involved. The network will be financed by the European Commission for 4 years, starting in May 2005.
