Development of an automated process to extract fibres from the waste of banana food production for exploitation as a sustainable reinforcement in injection- and rotomoulded products (Badana)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
18% of the European consumption of bananas is produced in Canary Islands. Around 10 million banana plants are grown annually in Gran Canaria.

Science education through earth observation for high schools (SEOS)
Start date: Aug 1, 2007, End date: Oct 31, 2009,
Earth observation from space is relevant in science education already in high schools since it sharpens the sensibility to the natural environment and thus stimulates the willingness to learn of its relevance to everyday life conditions. This covers a broad field of experience, ranging from daily weather data to long-term climate change, from local nature to environmental hazards, with local relev ...
