SeaChem Doctoral Network project provides high-level training in the offshore cultivation and valorization of seaweed to a new generation of 10 high-achieving doctoral candidates, equipping them with the transferable and scientific skills necessary for thriving careers in the burgeoning area of non-land-based biomass cultivation and use.
Doctoral Candidate 6, Julie Grivotte from the University of Galway, and Doctoral Candidate 8, Carlotta Minardi from KU Leuven, successfully completed their secondments at CTAQUA Centro Tecnológico de Acuicultura. Over
The increasing deployment of offshore infrastructure has raised concerns about the environmental impact of corrosion protection systems, particularly galvanic anodes, which release trace metals such as zinc and aluminium into
