Courses on Fundamentals of Microalgae Culture and Microalgae Biomass Processing-BiorefineryAre you interested in the world of microalgae and their application in sustainable bioprocesses? Do you want to acquire practical skills in an international university setting? Then this is your opportunity!
Two new courses are being offered in September 2025, by the Microalgae Biotechnology Group (BIO-173) of the Chemical Engineering Department from the University of Almeria (Almeria, Spain). Both courses have a theoretical and practical focus, are taught in English and are offered in person ideal for undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students and industry professionals. Both courses provide key tools for working in applied research or industrial settings within the field of microalgal bioprocesses: from design to the technical and economic evaluation of real-life projects. We look forward to your participation to continue promoting a more sustainable bioecnonomy through knowledge and practice! Registration is open from July 1st to September 5th 2025: Contacts: [email protected] Linkedin @bio173 Additional information can be found in the attached flyer and on the website at https://www2.ual.es/bioprocesos/ |

Second Edition of the Summer School on the Study of Extreme Environments through Integrated Approaches (ISS-SEEA).
22 - 25 September 2025
After the first edition's success we have the pleasure to announce the Second Edition of the Summer School on the Study of Extreme Environments through Integrated Approaches (ISS-SEEA).
The ISS-SEEA will take place from the 22nd to the 25th of September, at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Sicily Marine Centre, Messina (Italy).
The School will focus on the study of extreme environments with a holistic approach, including ecological, biotechnological, toxicological, and modelling perspectives. New topics will be addressed, covering the concepts of bioacoustics in extreme environments, oceanographic dynamics, astrobiology, and anoxic basins. A special focus will also be devoted to the Strait of Messina and its extreme dynamics.
The course will consist of 4 days and foresees both lectures by leading experts and practical sessions, including the observation of mesopelagic species, taxonomy, laboratory experience for the treatment of samples for biotechnological purposes (production of bioactive compounds) and observation of the bioluminescence phenomenon.
The School is open to students, PhD students and early career researchers to enhance their knowledge on these topics; to gain specific skills through multidisciplinary experiences as well as to establish new collaboration networks.
ISS-SEEA will be a valuable and stimulating opportunity to engage with some of the leading experts in marine ecology and biotechnology.

international summer school of blue biotechnology (ISSBB)
2° Edition, Naples 1-4 October 2024
Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples, Italy
Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Naples, Italy
The second edition of the International Summer School of Blue Biotechnology will be held at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn of Naples from October 1st to 4th 2024.
The school will be dedicated to PhD students and early career researchers working in the field of blue biotechnology. The four days of summer school will be focused on current interdisciplinary approaches used to disclose biotechnological potential of marine resources and their use for eco-sustainable production of molecules and processes with beneficial effects on human and environment health. A combination of lectures, short communications, practical afternoon sessions and visits to laboratories of a marine biotechnology company will create a stimulating environment for participants. Evenings are always reserved for social events in Naples, which can increase exchange of ideas among participants and create new long-lasting collaborations.
Detailed information on the program of our course and online registration form for the ISSBB 2024 are available at the following link:
https://issbluebiotech.wixsite.com/2022
Registration fee: 250 EU (NEW Deadline: 5 September 2024). There are still a few available spots, please register as soon as possible if you are interested; if you need more time contact us.

1ST EDITION CRIMAC INTERNATIONAL Summer School "MultidisciPLinary Approach for the STudy of plastic litter pollution in MEDiterranean ecosystems: from impacts to potential solutions" (PLASTMed)
The first edition of the Summer School PLASTMed will take place from the 22nd to the 25th October 2024 at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn Calabria Marine Centre - CRIMAC in Amendolara (CS) - Italy. It was conceived to address plastic pollution in the Mediterranean area through a multidisciplinary approach: the course will explore the ecological, biotechnological and toxicological aspects of plastic pollution through lectures by leading experts and field and laboratory activities. Possible solutions to reduce the impact of plastics by considering both new technological
applications and bioplastic challenges will also be discussed. The course will be a personal and professional enrichment for participants, both in terms of thematic insights and in the creation of new collaborative networks.
Open to: graduate and PhD students and early career researchers.
