The LIFE AlgaeCan and H2020 Water2REturn project teams invite you to a mini symposium titled “Algae in circular economy”, which will take place at the Biotechnical Faculty, Department of Agronomy, on June 7, 2018, starting at 9 am. In the framework of the symposium, a small demo centre will be officially opened, where the use of algae in cleaning technologies and the agro-food industry will be demonstrated. Warmly invited!
At the seminar you will learn about innovative solutions for the circular economy in agro-food processing, algae technologies and biostimulants and innovative fertilizers. You will have opportunity to share your opinions and suggestions. During the symposium the participants will visit the demo centre at the Biotechnical Faculty, dedicated to the development of algae cleaning technologies, the production of algae biomass and the testing of produced biostimulants and fertilizers for use in agronomy. More detailed programme is available in the invitation.
The event is organized by Algen and the Department of Agronomy at the Biotechnical Faculty. It is primarily intended for representatives of waste water treatment companies and the food processing industry, farmers, manufacturers of animal feed and fertilizers and their users.
