The NeoGiANT project, a consortium project within the EU Horizon 2020 framework, conducted its 3rd General Assembly and 6th Steering Committee meetings in Porto, Portugal. The meetings aimed to discuss the project's progress and address key aspects related to the work packages, project management, and communication strategies.
NeoGiANT aims to explore the potential of grape marc extracts as a solution for agriculture needs. The project focuses on identifying suitable bioactive molecules from grape marc and aims to validate their potential benefits, such as antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The goal is to develop sustainable and cost-effective methods for sourcing, processing, and utilizing these bioactive extracts. The project emphasizes three pillars: the use of local biomass sources, cost-effective and sustainable production, and the integration of functional ingredients into sustainable circular economy systems. As a consortium project under the EU Horizon 2020 scheme, NeoGiANT contributes to the broader objectives of European research and innovation in the agricultural sector.
Scientists from the Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters (FFPW), University of South Bohemia, are involved in the NeoGiANT project Work Package "Assessment of antimicrobial formulation for sperm preservation." Their expertise contributes to the evaluation and development of antimicrobial formulations for preserving sperm at a small scale.
The 5th Meeting of the Project participants will be hosted by the University of South Bohemia and will be held in May, 2024.
