The FoodOASIS
project review meeting of the first year was held on 15th July 2019
to discuss and present the projects that were successfully achieved in this
project phase. Further coordination and reorganization of the team was followed
with a view to complete successfully the next year’s modules, as well as
spreading aquaponics science to scientific groups and directly interested
people in sustainable production.
The
FoodOasis Research Project participated at the International Symposium on
Advanced Technologies and Management for Innovative Greenhouses GreenSys in
Angers, France, from June 16th to 20th 2019. The poster
of the project titled ” Development and optimization of an aquaponic
system to increase sustainability in food production FoodOASIS ” was presented
by the Scientific coordinator, Mr. Nikolaos Katsoulas (Associate Professor).
This symposium gives researchers and professionals the opportunity to present
innovative research on greenhouse crops, contributing to sustainable food
production and better management of the greenhouse environment for the benefit
of both the producer and the consumer.
The participation of the FoodOasis Research Project at the National Symposium of the Hellenic Society for Biological Sciences, was held in Katerini from 9th to 11th May 2019. The aim of the conference is to contribute to the interaction between research teams in various fields of Bioscience and to highlight the research activity of young researchers including pre- and postgraduate students.
The
Scientific Associate, Mr. Nikolaos Vlachos, was also invited to the conference
and presented his speech entitled “Abundance of bacteria in an aquarium
system with different salinities”, as well as the objectives of the
FoodOasis research project and the research developments in aquaponics.
