SP1c| 2nd Microbiome PT Summit

CCMAR took part in the 2nd PT Microbiome Summit with the presence of researchers Veronica Rossetto, Támara Santos and João Varela. They presented a poster entitled ‘Isolation, co-cultivation and benefits of bacteria associated with industrially produced Chlorella vulgaris’ and a presentation entitled ‘Overview of the benefits and challenges of using microbiomes to improve industrial production,’ showing the results of the microbiome associated with microalgae culture, as well as the benefits and challenges in the algae industry. The Microbiome PT network brings together experts in genomics and metabolomics from various European institutions, including the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (Portugal), ITQB NOVA (Portugal), EMBL (Germany), CAU (Germany) and UNIL (Switzerland). The overall aim is to create a robust European consortium to improve research into microbe-host symbiosis and promote this vital area of research at local and international level.

Documentary Series about the Project Algae Vertical

Algae Vertical Documentary Series

The innovative Algae Vertical Project has spawned a television mini-series, shown on RTP3’s TECH3 programme. This mini-series brought together the 38 partner organisations involved in this project and allowed the Subproject 7 (Dissemination and Communication) team, in collaboration with Bubble Creative Studio, to visit the facilities of the organisations and institutions. The aim was to record the progress and development of the activities implemented as part of this innovative project, designed to revolutionise the algae landscape and boost the crucial role of algae in the Blue Bioeconomy.

These episodes will be shown on RTP 3, RTP Internacional and later made available on RTP Play and our Youtube page.
