Multi-product Integrated bioRefinery of Algae: from Carbon dioxide and Light Energy to high-value Specialties (MIRACLES)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
Microalgae are a promising feedstock for sustainable supply of commodities and specialties for food and non-food products. Despite this potential the implementation is still limited which is mainly due to unfavourable economics. Major bottlenecks are the lack of available biomass at acceptable costs and the absence of appropriate biorefinery technologies. The 4-year MIRACLES project aims to resolv ...

Training Requirements And Careers for Knowledge-based Food Science and Technology in Europe (TRACK_FAST)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
The food and drink industry is the single largest manufacturing sector in the EU and is mainly comprised by SMEs and microenterprises (99.1% of European food and drink businesses). The European food industry is in the lower part of the innovation performance ranking, and is losing relative importance in the global food market. This situation was a primary reason for the initiation of the ETP Food4 ...
