BIOVEGEN participated on July 9 in a new meeting of the Working Group “Quality, Production and Sustainability” of the Food for Life-Spain Platform. The meeting, which took place online and was attended by various entities from the sector (researchers, companies, and Administration), served to expand information about the situation of different R&D funding calls, to connect with collaborating entities, and to learn firsthand about ongoing projects and project proposals for collaboration.
Participation in this Working Group is part of the collaboration maintained between FOOD FOR LIFE and BIOVEGEN with the aim of generating projects, R&D activities, and promoting public-private collaboration.
