This COST Action brought together hundreds of researchers from across Europe and the world, almost half of which were Early Stage Researchers (ESR).
Europe generates hundreds of millions of tonnes of Food Supply Chain Waste (FSCW) annually. To tackle a problem of this scale, we split into four working groups who would work towards using this waste as resource to feed the ever growing demand for carbon-based products. To facilitate this work the Action allowed for training, conferences and Short-Term Scientific Missions—where ESR travelled to other institutions to do research. This research included over 20 different FSCW types and many different extraction and processing methods to produce a range of chemicals, materials and fuels.
The success of the Action and its associated network of researchers is demonstrated by a commitment towards multiple future collaborations along with the maintenance and expansion of the network of researchers.
