Six months of VALZEO in one read: workshops, secondments, policy briefs and our final workshop at Ecomondo 2026.
The seventh VALZEO newsletter is now available. It covers May to October 2026, a busy period as the project enters its final months.
In this issue:
- Ancona, May 2026. Università Politecnica delle Marche (UNIVPM) hosted the VALZEO International Workshop, a Science Café and the General Assembly.
- Secondments. Staff exchanges continued at UNIVPM in Italy and in Donegal, Ireland, where SITES hosted a week of knowledge exchange on the regional bioeconomy.
- Pilot plant. Work on the biodiesel pilot plant at UNIVPM moved forward.
- Policy briefs. We introduce three VALZEO policy briefs on rice husk ash, water treatment and biodiesel. They are being prepared for publication.
- Save the date. Our final workshop, “Innovative Materials & Methods for Water Treatment”, takes place at Ecomondo 2026 in Rimini on Tuesday 3 November, 14:00–17:30, in Sala Orchidea, Pavilion D6.
