Starting Green-it

Oeiras, 13.11.2015

The official launch of the Bioresources for Sustainability Unit (Green-it) took place today, during the kick-off meeting held at ITQB.

Green-it is one of the recently approved research units to be funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia during the next five years. This is a multidisciplinary unit composed by laboratories within ITQB, iBET and IGC, which collaborate to explore biological resources, using chemical and biological strategies, and thus address key societal challenges in agriculture, forestry and energy, ensuring environmental protection and supporting a bio-based economy.

The kick-off meeting of Green-it includes scientific sessions and team building activities that aim to increase the interaction between group members.
