WaSeaBi strongly represented at this year's WEFTA conference
Last week WaSeaBi partners presented at the 51st Western European Fish Technologists Association (WEFTA) Conference, which took place from 16-20 October 2023 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The theme for this year's conference was "Sustainable utilization of aquatic resources – changing the way we Seafood" – a theme fits very well with WaSeaBi and the project's purpose.
We are therefore very proud to share that the session on “Side streams for food and non-food products to reach zero waste production”, included no fewer than 7 presentations and 1 poster where partners disseminated WaSeaBi results.
Below you can see the titles of the presentations and poster:
- Erasmo CADENA, Ghent University, Belgium
