The AQUABIOPRO-FIT project consortium hopes that you have had a great start to the new year. In this newsletter, we would like to introduce Anna Kujumdzieva from Biointech, who will be creating educational material to encourage the use of biomasses in the circular economy. Our research partners from University of Valencia, Centro Tecnologico de la Carne de Galicia and Nofima have successfully published three scientific articles in open access journals. Additionally, AQUABIOPRO-FIT had the opportunity to connected to people from science, policy and industry by participating at two European level events.

AQUABIORO-FIT is an EU-funded project that focuses on creating nutritional value from fishery side streams, as well as developing feed from tunicates. As the project progresses, we look forward to sharing more news on our research findings on our website and in our newsletter.
