<H2>Final stakeholder workshop of European funded research project DRIVE4EU - Dandelion Rubber and Inulin Valorization and Exploitation for Europe</H2>
<H3 CLASS="MsoNormal"> You are most welcome at the DRIVE4EU final stakeholder workshop on October 19th, 2018 at KeyGene in Wageningen, NL. Registration is free. Feel invited to join and register via the button on this page. </H3>
The objective of “DRIVE4EU - Dandelion Rubber and Inulin Valorization and Exploitation for Europe” was to set up a new European chain for the production and processing of natural rubber. This enables the EU to become less dependent on the import of natural rubber and at the same time to respond to the threat of a global rubber shortage.
In this final exploitation workshop the main outputs, findings and key results of the DRIVE4EU project are presented. Next to this you will have the possibility to meet and discuss with all project partners and to have a look at the DRIVE4EU prototypes.
