The Aquaculture Research Group at CCMAR (Algarve Centre for Marine Sciences) attended the International Symposium on Fish Nutrition and Feeding (ISFNF), held in Darwin, Australia, one of the most prestigious international conferences dedicated to aquaculture nutrition and feeding. Represented by researchers Sofia Engrola and Rita Teodósio, the group presented the latest results of the research carried out under the Vertical

The Vertical Algas project took part in yet another edition of the Marine Forests Festival, held at Colégio Nossa Senhora da Graça in Vila Nova de Milfontes, helping to promote ocean literacy and raise awareness among the younger generation about the importance of seaweed and marine ecosystems. Over two days of activities, the Outreach Team (WP7) from GreenCoLab interacted with

As part of the Vertical Algas project, Allmicroalgae and Iberopasta collaborated to develop microalgae-enriched pasta, incorporating Chlorella into their various formulations: Chlorella honey, Chlorella smooth, and Chlorella white, alongside the product’s traditional formulation. The work, carried out at the GreenCoLab facilities, enabled the recipe to be optimised for industrial conditions, improving the pasta’s nutritional profile without compromising its technological and sensory characteristics. The results were further validated through sensory evaluations

InnovPlantProtect (InPP) and Fertiprado have developed an innovative, algae-based biological seed coating technology with a biostimulant effect. This biostimulant solution improves crop performance, optimises resource use and enhances agricultural sustainability from the very early stages of development. Developed over five years of collaboration between research and development teams, this sustainable solution helps stimulate nodulation in legumes, promote plant growth, increase

On April 10, Colab4Food, the leader of Subproject 4B of the Vertical Algas project, hosted the “Food of the Future: The Role of Algae” workshop at the Vila do Conde School of Hospitality and Tourism. The event brought together researchers, companies, and food sector experts to explore algae’s impact as an innovative, sustainable ingredient, sparking knowledge sharing, demonstrations, and tangible

On March 30 and 31, researchers from CESAM’s Physical Chemistry Laboratory participated in the 12th Meeting of the Analytical Chemistry Division of the SPQ (ANALÍTICA2026), held at the University of Aveiro. The event brought together researchers, students, and leading experts across various fields of Analytical Chemistry, fostering the exchange of scientific knowledge and discussion of new approaches and challenges in
