BISC-E Austrian Final 2025

Final Pitches: Student Teams present their Bio-based Innovations for a Sustainable Future!

05. May 08:20 ‐

BOKU hosts the final Austria’s first-ever participation in the Bio-based Innovation Student Challenge Europe (BISC-E). Join us to discover innovative bio-based ideas by interdisciplinary student teams!

BISC-E (Bio-based Innovation Student Challenge Europe) is a Europe-wide competition that challenges students to design innovative bio-based products or processes addressing environmental, technological, or societal challenges. 

The competition promotes awareness of the bioeconomy’s role in building a sustainable and circular future. The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) organizes BISC-E at the European level. In 2025, Austria is participating for the first time, coordinated by the Centre for Bioeconomy at BOKU and BIOS Science Austria.

The Austrian final will take place on May 15th at BOKU University, where interdisciplinary student teams will pitch their innovative bio-based solutions to a jury of industry and academic experts. Solutions are evaluated based on sustainability, technical feasibility, and economic viability. The winning team will represent Austria at the European finals in autumn 2025.
