The European Commission is organising an Information Day to present the following calls for proposals to be launched in autumn 2016:

• the “Greening the Economy” call for proposals,
• the circular economy sub-call of “Industry 2020 in the Circular Economy”, and
• related call topics on “Smart and Sustainable Cities”, “Sustainable Food Security – Resilient and resource-efficient value chains” and “Blue Growth – Demonstrating an Ocean of Opportunities”.

Representatives of the research community, SME associations, businesses, industry and European institutions are invited to join the event on Wednesday, 14 September 2016 in the European Commission’s Charlemagne building, rue de la Loi 170, Brussels.

€8.3 million Horizon 2020 SAltgae demonstration project for proving the techno-economic feasibility of using algae to treat wastewater from the food industry was launched in June 2016 in Madrid, Spain. Over the course of three years, 19 project partners including EUBIA will implement innovative technologies for each step of the wastewater treatment that will promote energy and resource efficiency, and reduce costs. Amongst these, the use of halotolerant algae/bacteria consortiums in HRAPs for the elimination of organic matter and nutrients stands out for its high added value: not only will it provide an effective and ecological solution for wastewater treatment, but also it will represent an innovative way of producing algal biomass, that will subsequently be valorized into different by-products, reducing the economic and environmental impact of the treatment.

Moreover, the project will also address cross-cutting barriers to innovation related to wastewater by developing a platform for the mobilization and networking of stakeholders from all the different sectors related to wastewater, and for the dissemination of results, enabling the development of a common roadmap for the alignment of legislation, regulation and pricing methodologies and promoting financial investment and paradigm shift in perception from ‘wastewater treatment’ to ‘resource valorisation’.

Don’t miss Algae Europe Conference 2015. A leading event on algae sector in Europe

A great event to support algae economy in North Europe

EnAlgae project closed its 5 years adventure with a great Final Conference. This “Algae-day” took place in Brussels on the 29th of September 2015. It has been organized by EUBIA, in cooperation with Swansea University and all other EnAlgae Partners.

About 95 participants, representatives of all market forces influencing the development of algae economy in Europe. attended the event. Not only presentations, but also lively debatesand working groups contributed to the success of EnAlgae Conference.

The appreciation of participants, together with the hot topics debated during the event can be considered the business card of this really successful project.

EnAlgae Project is pleased to organize the
