EWLP 2026
18th European Workshop on Lignocellulosics and Pulp

21-24. September 2026
BOKU University, Vienna, Austria


We are excited to announce that BOKU University will be organizing the 18th European Workshop on Lignocellulosics and Pulp (EWLP) in 2026. EWLP is a biennial event that brings together researchers, students, and industrial participants to discuss the latest advancements in lignocellulosic research. The conference covers a wide range of topics, including wood chemistry, lignocellulosic structures, analytical techniques, biorefinery technologies, and biotechnological approaches for producing new materials and products. Further information will be provided in the coming months. If you have any questions, please email us at ewlp2026@boku.ac.at

Session Topics

The EWLP 2026 conference is committed to showcase latest advancements in lignocellulosic research and to promote scientific exchange across different disciplines. We therefore encourage participation from a diverse field of scientists working on biomass valorization.
Lignocellulosics

Characterization of lignocellulosic biomass structure and properties. Biosynthesis and cell wall chemistry. 

Pulping & Bleaching

Industrial pulping and bleaching technologies. New chemistries and processes. Chemical engineering and process optimization.

Analytics

Advances in analytical techniques. Method development. Wet chemistry, spectroscopy, microscopy, chromatography, mechanical testing, etc.

Materials & Products

Lignin-based materials. Nanocellulose. Polysaccharide-derived materials. Extractives & Polyphenols. Carbon materials from biomass.

Fibers & Textiles

Applications for lignocellulosic fibers. Fiber spinning & filaments. Textile recycling. Dye chemistry.

Biorefinery & Circularity

(Catalytic) Lignin valorization processes. Integrated biorefinery systems. Alternative biomass, i.e. bacterial cellulose, fungal biomass, proteins, etc.
