Looking for a biotechnology partner for lab-scale validation – ECIV Second Open Call
About
We are currently finalising a consortium for the upcoming ECIV Second Open Call and are looking for an additional partner with expertise in microbial cultivation, fermentation and lab-scale validation.
The role would focus on experimentally assessing the performance of bio-based formulations under controlled conditions, including microbial growth evaluation and comparison of different formulations at laboratory scale.
We are particularly interested in organisations based in one of the following ECIV partner countries:
Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Lithuania, Finland or the United Kingdom.
Research organisations, technological centres, universities and companies with relevant biotechnology or fermentation capabilities are welcome.
If this could be of interest, please contact us through the platform or by email (marta.delfa@wearesustainn.com) so we can arrange a short meeting and share further details about the project and the potential role within the consortium.
