WASTE IS A MYTH: Art meets Science

Developed in the context of the Cluster of Excellence Circular Bioengineering, the exhibition explored how creative practices and scientific research can together challenge linear thinking.

BOKU Future Conference 2026 - NO WASTE

At the BOKU Future Conference 2026, the spotlight was on the Cluster of Excellence Circular Bioengineering, exploring the central question: how can bioengineering help close material and energy loops for a more sustainable future?
