Creating the right environment is an often overlooked element of the biomanufacturing research, development and scaleup journey. Neal Suntken at HDR is leading a panel discussion at Bio Innovations Midwest to discuss what the perfect environment (from a regulatory, operational, functional and space perspective) looks like to foster improved collaboration between agriculture, academia, laboratory, government and industry.

Data management is a critical component of a successful research network but data sharing at international level is met with fundamental barriers like variation in regulations, practices & infrastructure. Ahead of discussions at Science Summit UNGA79 we learn from 4 COST Actions about the challenges they face in their respective research fields, how they address them, the importance of global collaboration, and if there are innovative solutions on the horizon.

📚The first Advanced Wastewater Treatment Spring School – SmartWaterTwin has concluded. This school was organized in conjunction with the 11th Memorial Scientific Meeting on Environmental Protection, doc dr Milena Dalmacija. 🔗We extend our gratitude to the partners from Catalan Institute for Water Research (ICRA) and Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) for their collaboration. It was truly valuable to exchange knowledge and ideas with you and the participants of the spring school. A special thanks to the twinning projects PFAStwin project , TwiNSol - CECs , and TwinSubDyn Project for engaging in fantastic discussion sessions and plenary lectures. We look forward to reconnecting next time with some new events. 🥼💦Also, thanks to everyone who participated in the spring school. See you next year, until then follow us for new events planned for this year of our project. #water #wastewatertreatment #school #education #world #smartwatertwin #horizoneurope #EUfunded #EUprojects --- Funded by the European Union.

To stimulate innovation, it is important—indeed, vital—to ensure interaction between the various stakeholders, including producers, researchers, and outreach agents, so that they can pool their ideas, opinions, and knowledge in order to solve the problems or meet the challenges they face. The European Union's Development Smart Innovation through Research in Agriculture (DeSIRA) initiative champions a multi-actor innovation partnership approach. This approach convenes diverse stakeholders to exchange ideas, combine resources, and drive coordinated innovation efforts. Recognizing the importance of skilled facilitators, #DeSIRA-LIFT designed a specific training program. This program equips facilitators with the skills to guide these partnerships towards achieving their chosen objectives. Read on: 🔗 https://bit.ly/3xId5b8 #Trees4Resilience

🌱FarmTech Society Update 2024🌱 1️⃣ Fifth Annual General Meeting — served as an excellent opportunity for our members to connect, discuss ideas and build new relationships. Two new executive board members, Stefanie Linzer & Rick Schneiders, elected earlier in the spring, were confirmed! With an updated strategic focus, the incoming board is now set to build a strong five-year roadmap to help mature the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) sector. Growing Together - committed to continuing our mission as an inclusive and international CEA sectoral representation. 2️⃣Report from the Field Our Chair, RON MITCHELL, with over 30 years of experience as a grower and serial entrepreneur, addressed the “market correction” in Vertical Farming, noting the end of cheap, high-risk funding and fossil fuel energy. He emphasized the importance of nurturing innovation through challenging times and expressed confidence in successful entrepreneurs focused on profitable unit economics. Ron also highlighted the critical supportive role of the FTS network and invited more companies to engage more in upcoming FTS Knowledge Exchange Meetups. 👉 Join the group here to stay updated: https://lnkd.in/euvvZ76X Stay tuned for exciting updates from FTS as we continue to grow and innovate! 🚜🌿 #GreenTech2024 #CEA #SustainableAgriculture #FarmTechSociety #CircularEconomy #FutureOfFarming #ControlledEnvironmentAgriculture Thomas Zoellner
