EVENT AGENDA
Date: 15 February of 2024
Location: Centro Cultural Tirso Molina, Almazán, Soria
Time: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The LIFE byProtVal project organising its final Conference Sustainable Solutions: Exploring Protein Recovery in the Bioeconomy.
During the final conference, main authorities, professionals in bioeconomy and circular economy strategies, and project partners will present the outcomes of the research done in the areas of bioprocesses, technologies, impact perception and policies perspectives to ensure an effective wide implementation of protein recovery valorisation from organic byproducts, and its potential implementation for a successful industrial symbiosis in European Union.
