Workshop

As a fertile source of new natural products and environmental friendly solutions, algae are seen today as renewable resources with high potential to foster sustainable development of the emerging Blue Bioeconomy in Europe.

Today, intensive research and development of innovations and technologies is ongoing for a wide range of valuable, competitive and sustainable algae-based applications in order to expand the algae market.

The European workshop “Alg’in Provence” will highlight novel activities on algae valorisation in Europe with a special focus on R&D and industrial initiatives occurring in the French Mediterranean regions.

It will gather people with knowledge & skills in the field of applied algal biotechnology and their potential in a commercial, industrial context, with an aim to stimulate knowledge exchange and collaborations in industrial blue biotechnologies.
