Stay updated with our latest innovations, research breakthroughs, sustainability initiatives, and upcoming events and outreach efforts.
NTUA recently hosted a three-day open event, welcoming students and the wider public into its Schools and specialized laboratories.
The TwInn4MicroUp project is delighted to share its participation in the BioRef Winter School 2025, held from February 24 to February 28, 2025, at the Cracow University of Technology (PK), Poland. This event was organized as part of the BioRef Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s degree, and brought together leading experts and students to explore advancements in biorefinery, biotechnology, and sustainability. Our team contributed with insightful lectures on biocatalysis and enzyme-based plastic waste valorization, reinforcing TwInn4MicroUp’s commitment to synthetic microbial biotechnology and circular economy solutions.
We are excited to share our recent participation in two impactful events that highlight our commitment to sustainability and innovation. […]
