In summer 2023, the Bioprocessing Separations Consortium hosted the first Bioenergy Bridge to Career Program Workshop, kicking off an event that will continue annually for two more years.
The event was hosted online by all six Consortium laboratories – Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Lawrence Livermore Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and Argonne National Laboratory – over the course of July and August. The workshop was held for undergraduate students from a range of universities to generate interest in the field of bioenergy. The workshop took place over four Fridays, with each session being led by a different national lab or two.
