As the educational and research center of Fermentis, it embodies innovation and knowledge-sharing in the field of fermentation sciences. This state-of-the-art facility boasts cutting-edge laboratories, interactive classrooms, and collaborative spaces that foster creativity and discovery.

Fermentis Campus serves as a focal point for industry professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts alike, offering a diverse range of courses, workshops, and events that delve into the intricacies of fermentation, from brewing and winemaking to biotechnology and beyond. With a commitment to excellence, Fermentis Campus is dedicated to advancing the science of fermentation and nurturing the next generation of experts in this fascinating field.

It is here that ideas ferment and expertise flourishes, making it an indispensable resource for anyone passionate about the art and science of fermentation.

Alongside the event, visitors will have the opportunity to come and discover the Fermentis Campus, located on the outskirts of Lille, in Marquette-lez-Lille. This site houses an experimental pilot brewery with cutting-edge technologies, equipped by Kaspar Schulz. This brewery allows Fermentis to produce experimental brews that are crucial for the qualification of our microorganisms. The beers brewed here are used to supply our sensory panel and to participate in various trade fairs and events in which Fermentis takes part.

We look forward to sharing our expertise at the Brewers Forum / EBC Congress, and welcoming you to Lille to explore the world of fermentation, and celebrate together our passion for beer.

Remember to book your visit and come discover our experimental brewery!
