Joint Testing Event & Living Lab of the BIOBASED project at the DAFNE Department of the University of Foggia
On 9th and 10th April 2026, two key events of the project BIOBASED – Development support of blue biorefinery in the Adriatic Sea will take place at the Department of Agriculture, Food, Natural Resources and Engineering (DAFNE) of the University of Foggia. The project is funded by the Interreg Italy–Croatia 2021/2027 Programme, and the University of Foggia acts as Lead Partner.
The initiative represents an important opportunity for discussion and knowledge exchange on project results, with a specific focus on the development of innovative solutions in the field of the blue bioeconomy and the sustainability of aquaculture systems in the Adriatic area.
The two-day event will include presentations, technical and scientific discussions, and field-based activities, involving researchers, sector experts, stakeholders, and operators.
