The mission of Inspire Europe is clear: we want to tackle the growing problem of pollution in our rivers and oceans. But to achieve this, it’s crucial that we understand the needs and challenges faced by those working on the front lines. Whether you’re involved in detecting pollution, collecting litter, or preventing pollutants from reaching our waterways, your insights are essential to the success of INSPIRE. Take a few minutes and participate in the survey until Sept. 15th. :https://lnkd.in/dMDW8NCW https://lnkd.in/dhtJFG8G

As part of the 3rd Summer Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) School at UNIDO, Christine Bertl was invited as a guest speaker to present a case study on alchemia-novas circular products, services, and business models. Christine’s presentation focused on EU-Horizon projects such as the FUTURAL Project and RURBANIVE Project EU, including Good Practices, synergies and learnings from related projects. She also shared a 10-step methodology for implementing innovative business models in circular bioeconomy. After her talk, there was a lively discussion with thoughtful questions, followed by another engaging presentation by Elena Yaneva. After the successful session, Christine and her FFG Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH interns, Hannelore Friedrich and Arianna Nitzlader, set up a booth for further engagement. Attendees were able to gather more information about alchemia-nova and our projects and products. In the evening a dinner was held, creating an even more comfortable setting. During the meal, participants had the chance to share ideas, discuss details more thoroughly, and build stronger connections. It was a pleasure to receive so much positive feedback, genuine interest, and to make many new valuable connections. A big thank you goes to Sasha Tremblay, M.A. and her team for the excellent planning, which created such a welcoming and well-organized atmosphere that made the event truly valuable.

We at alchemia-nova are excited to announce that Christine Bertl will be presenting our work on circular bioeconomy at UNIDO at the 3rd PAGE Green Industry Summer School. This opportunity allows us to share our initiatives, highlighting the significance of this matter. We will be showcasing the EU-Horizon Project, particularly the FUTURAL Project and RURBANIVE Project EU, where we have especially made significant and interesting progress and want to share authentic insights. We are eager to disclose our latest approaches and methodologies and look forward to contributing to the ongoing discourse in this field. https://lnkd.in/dEQV8gqS

This Monday we, Hannelore Friedrich and Arianna Nitzlader, started our first internship day as FFG Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH interns at the research institute alchemia-nova, under the supervision of Christine Bertl. This involved traveling to Pongau to visit the local wastewater treatment plant. Our goals were to discuss the FUTURAL Project with our partners from the Regionalverband Pongau and to gain a better understanding of the plant's operations and the objectives of the EU-Horizon-project. We experienced that the ongoing project seeks to promote sustainable practices and efficient resource management by integrating various regional advantages and projects. Building on previous efforts in the local circular bioeconomy, it emphasizes using local food leftovers from tourism and improving sewage sludge treatment methods. It gave us a much greater understanding of the project and sparked our curiosity. Upon our arrival, we met the Managing Director of the Reinhalteverband Ennstal, Ing. Franz Rainer. During an extensive and demanding discussion, we became increasingly aware of the various problems that can occur in a wastewater treatment plant and the urgent need for new, innovative ideas to combat these issues. We were truly amazed by Mr. Rainer's openness to the FUTURAL Project and his transparency in sharing both the challenges and potential regional solutions. Following the in-depth discussion, Mr. Rainer offered us a detailed tour of the facility, where we gained an even deeper insight into its operations. We were impressed by the complexity and expertise required at each stage, from filtering out waste to producing biogas. This experience emphasized the importance of raising awareness about these processes and highlighted the crucial role of initiatives like those facilitated by alchemia-nova in educating young students like us. #alchemia-nova #FUTURAL #FFG #Internship pictures by Hannelore Friedrich, Arianna Nitzlader on the picture: Christine Bertl, Ing.

On July 22nd, Christine Bertl visited our FUTURAL Project partners, Josef Fanninger and Stephan Maurer from Regionalverband Pongau, to plan our upcoming workshop in autumn. As the FUTURAL Project addresses social and ecological challenges in Europe's rural areas, we're co-creating digital, smart solutions. Our initiative continues to build on previous efforts focused on the circular bioeconomy, especially in utilizing local food leftovers from the tourism sector and improving sewage sludge treatment methods. These efforts represent a robust example of effective community involvement and resource management, essential for refining our strategic approach in Pongau. This meeting served as well as a kickoff for identifying potential synergies with the RURBANIVE Project EU, which emphasizes rural-urban collaborations and fosters a biocircular economy through innovative digital solutions. We are looking forward to deepening our collaboration and driving impactful solutions alongside regional decision-makers! #FUTURAL #RURBANIVE #CircularBioeconomy #Sustainability #Innovation #CommunityEngagement #alchemia-nova

Happy to announce that the HE project #SYMBIO is online now. Take a look at the brand new project website and get to know the project. In SYMBIO alchemia nova will co-define circular bio-based industrial symbiosis business models with regional stakeholders including policy & financing opportunities.

Great turnout at yesterday's RURBANIVE Project EU workshops at Beyond2Festival. Enthusiasts of the circular bioeconomy gathered to explore sustainable practices by baking their own pizzas using resources from Vienna and Lower Austria. The session further provided valuable insights into waste management and sustainable ways to utilize food leftovers. A special thanks to BioBASE_GmbH for introducing the BioBASE Compass to our attendees, enhancing their understanding of circular bioeconomy tools. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #BioBASE #Beyond2Festival #RURBANIVE

Join us for our interactive RURBANIVE workshop at the Beyond2Festival this Sunday! We will feature products focused on rural and urban circular bioeconomy and bake pizza using these products together. More about the EU-project RURBANIVE: RURBANIVE Project EU
