On July 5, BIOVEGEN participated in the summer course at the University of Castilla La Mancha “Phytocosmetics and Natural Cosmetics” with the presentation Biofactor Plants at the Service of Cosmetics. This course allowed for the communication of the most recent scientific advances, approaches, techniques, tools, and emerging technologies in phytocosmetics and natural cosmetics; the use of phytocosmetic treatments in different types of users and patients; establishing the importance of this for social well-being; raising awareness of the need for healthy cosmetics with a lower environmental impact.
Additionally, BIOVEGEN talked about the FitoNet Operational Group, explaining the evolution of this innovative project aimed at developing a digital environment and living laboratories to enhance the agronomic genetic resources of agricultural interest.
