The Warsaw University of Life Sciences and the Lublin University of Technology are part of the CELISE project consortium, which received funding for the project entitled “Sustainable production of Cellulose-based products and additives to be used in SMEs and rural areas”. The project will be implemented under the HORIZON 2020 MSCA-RISE-2020 program – Maria Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange.

The Universidad de Cantabria in Spain is the coordinator of the CELISE project. Its aim is to create international cooperation between European research and innovation institutions and industry and research teams from Latin America through the exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of obtaining new types of cellulose-based materials.

The project fosters the development of knowledge and scientific excellence by enabling European universities and the industrial environment to establish and maintain contacts with their business partners around the world.
