The final symposium of the RAAK-mkb project Connecting Fibers will take place in the afternoon of 17 September 2026 in Nijmegen-Lent. Over the past two and a half years, researchers, students and professional partners have worked on the development of a lignin-adhesive derived from biomass waste streams. With this project, we are helping to make the construction sector fully biobased. During the symposium 'Connecting Fibers: link to the future', we will share the project's key results and, above all, look ahead. What steps are needed to bring this innovation further into practice?
