THE ALGAENET4AV PROJECT

Eukaryotic microalgae and cyanobacteria represent one of the most diverse biological resources, adapted to a wide range of environments. This diversity offers vast potential for discovering novel and unexplored metabolites with relevance for biotechnology research and exploitation. Yet, microalgal compounds remain largely unexploited, mostly due to limited research. The AlgaeNet4AV project aims to study eukaryotic microalgae and cyanobacteria biodiversity to develop bio‐based products with applications in pandemic‐related challenges. By verifying microbiological resources, the project looks for developing complementary tools at different scales, from basic research to industrial production. For a complete overview, see http://algaenet4av.eu/

THE ALGAENET4AV SUMMER SCHOOL

The Summer School Advances in Microalgae Research: Biodiversity, Biotechnology, and Bioinnovation, is organised within the framework of the Training and Dissemination activities of the AlgaeNet4AV project, focusing on the topic of Microalgae Ecology and Biodiversity. The school will provide insights into assessing the main steps involved in developing and exploiting novel and unexplored metabolites synthesised by eukaryotic microalgae and cyanobacteria. Experts from academia and industry will cover the main relevant complementary fields, from the study of taxonomic and metabolomic biodiversity to large-scale biomass production. Speakers will explain the interconnected development process, from research and laboratory phases to planning, testing, and production.

REGISTRATION

The Summer School will be delivered fully online, with the possibility to attend lectures onsite at Fondazione Edmund Mach, Istituto Agrario di San Michele all' Adige.
Participation is free of charge, and prospective participants are invited to register using the following link:
