The main coordinator of the NEMOS project, María J. Cantalejo, participated and presented the poster titled “Examples of food industries with zero waste: Revalorisation of whey by-products in line with embedding sustainability through service-learning” at the 22nd IUFoST World Congress 2024 of Food Science and Technology in Rimini, Italy, on 10th September 2024.
The mentioned poster served to present a case study of the NEMOS project aligned with the BIRBIZI research project (funded by the Government of Navarre, Spain).
The congress aimed to outline the new challenges that the sector faces under the motto “The Future of Food is Now: Development, Functionality & Sustainability.”
More than 2,500 delegates from America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and worldwide attended the congress. Michael Murkovic, a NEMOS local partner from the Technical University of Graz (Austria), also participated in it.
About the NEMOS Project
The NEMOS project acknowledges sustainability as an increasingly crucial skill for graduate and post-graduate students to tackle important global challenges such as climate change, food waste, and the loss of biodiversity in their professional future. Therefore, the project aims to define a new educational model to integrate sustainability competences into the curricula of food-related degrees by means of service learning.
Co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, the NEMOS project is led by the Public University of Navarra and includes the following consortium partners: Technological University Dublin (Ireland), Technological University Graz (Austria), Rhône-Alpes Higher Institute of Agriculture (France), University of Pisa (Italy), and IGCAT.
