Project GreenTech completed

Project GreenTech terminated at 31 December 2019, with much success. Our project yielded far more results than expected and that we will be analysing for quite some time. Most importantly, we developed a series of methodological pipelines to discover and characterise novel bioproducts from the European Atlantic marine fauna, especially invertebrates.

We therefore salute and thank our case study, Eulalia, for all the challenges, joys and troubles!
