Discussions on green science for Generation Z and younger 

Join us for interactive World Café sessions designed for Generation Z and younger, where we’ll tackle the hottest sustainability topics through engaging discussions. Refreshments will be available during the breaks, so come ready for great conversations and good company. Let’s challenge ideas, spark creativity, and explore how science, technology, and digital culture can drive a greener future!

Newsletter on everything you need to know about enzymes for industrial uses

Our four projects will shortly launch The Active Site, a newsletter with all the latest information about enzymes and enzymology research for greener products, aimed at researchers and the industry. It will include interviews with relevant people working in the field, a selection of news and research publications, upcoming events, interesting job vacancies… and much more! Subscribe now to stay up-to-date on what’s going on in the sector!

Boosting visibility by cooperation

Sharing the potential of enzymes in the EU

Our efforts are focused on developing novel enzymes for more sustainable products. However, we are also aware of the importance of sharing our progress, especially with the industry, so the technologies we develop can be implemented, and also with the researchers who may share our goals. That’s why we have teamed up with three other European research projects working in enzymology, to join forces in communicating the potential of enzymes and achieve a wider impact.
