Have you ever tried a burger made from seaweed? Or nuggets produced from protein grown in circular systems? The role of algae in food production will become increasingly relevant, and it all begins with the reuse of water from fish farming — as has been demonstrated in the INNOAQUA project.

Macroalgae could become one of the most valuable resources in the European bioeconomy. But how can their production be ensured in an efficient, sustainable, and industrially scalable way? That is precisely the question the BIG-ALGAE project - recently recognised with the STEP Seal, an excellence mark awarded by the European Commission to projects considered strategic for European technological sovereignty and competitiveness - seeks to answer. INESC TEC is one of the partners.

What if it were possible to communicate on a global scale with levels of security that are virtually impossible to compromise? The answer may lie in quantum communications. INESC TEC is studying, optimising, and validating solutions to ensure reliable, stable, and secure transmission at 1550 nanometres (nm) under real or near-real conditions.
