The Vertical Algae project was once again represented at the largest annual algae event, AlgaEurope, held from 9 to 12 December in Riga, Latvia. This presence reaffirms the project’s commitment to promoting research, innovation and cooperation in the algae sector.
AlgaEurope is a privileged meeting point for scientists, industry representatives and policymakers, promoting a fundamental alliance for the advancement of knowledge, technological development and the strengthening of industrial capacities in the field of algae on a European and international scale.
The Vertical Algae project was presented in various formats, including scientific posters and oral presentations, reflecting the diversity of approaches and results developed across its sub-projects. This participation not only allowed the work carried out to be disseminated, but also stimulated dialogue, the sharing of experiences and the creation of new opportunities for collaboration.
Representing the different sub-projects, several partner entities were present, namely CCMAR, GreenCoLab, Necton and the University of Minho, among others. The diversity of institutions present highlighted the collaborative nature of the project and the strong link between science, industry and innovation.
Participation in AlgaEurope reinforced the visibility of the Vertical Algas project on the international stage and helped affirm the potential of algae as a strategic resource for sustainability, the bioeconomy, and the development of innovative solutions with environmental, social, and economic impact.
