Update! Watch the recording of this talk.
This talk is an activity from the FEBS Junior Section, an initiative set up by students and young researchers from some of the FEBS Constituent Societies. Each month members of the FEBS Junior Section organize an online event on either a research or a career topic. This talk was coordinated by researchers of the Serbian Biochemical Society, SBS.
Speaker: Dr Ivan Spasojević, University of Belgrade – Institute for Multidisciplinary Research, Serbia
Topic: “From 'microalgae in the streets' to 'liquid trees': Our journey from concept to public acceptance”
Time: 6 June 2024, 19:00 CET
For more information: See the summary below and visit Dr Ivan Spasojević institutional webpage.
Summary
The talk will address different aspects of the development of bio-based innovative technologies, using the example of the LIQUID3 project, such as multidisciplinarity, outreaching, design, public acceptance, sustainability, low maintenance cost, compatibility, and multifunctionality. It will also include presentation of LIQUID3 technology for air purification and the potential of microalgae in dealing with some other environmental issues. I am looking forward to questions and further discussion with the attendees.
Dr Ivan Spasojević is a biophysicist, Research Professor, and a PI at the University of Belgrade with over 20 years of experience and more than 80 scientific papers. He is a well-established expert in redox chemistry and has led several large projects addressing microalgae-based biotech, including LIQUID3. Ivan understands technology transfer, patent drafting, commercialization routes development, and IP protection, and has extensive experience in media presentation and effective communication and has a wide network in academia, the microalgae industry, and media.
