The Danubius Award Winner 2023
The Danubius Award went to Austrian scientist Prof. Andreas H. Farnleitner, University Professor at the Vienna University of Technology and at the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences Krems. We are honoured to have awarded this important prize to Prof. Farnleitner, who stands out for exceptional research in the utilization of biomass waste streams and the development of sustainable chemical processes for the modification of biopolymers. His work contributes to the development of local biorefinery concepts, using aquatic plants from the Danube region as feedstocks to support the development of a future biobased economy in this region. In addition, his priceless research involves fostering academic progress within the Danube Region.
