  • Webinar April 13th: Using biotech to accelerate breeding and development of crops

    Managing director Dr. Jon Falk from Saaten-Union Biotec GmbH will present an introduction to the biotechnology used at SU Biotec to speed up the development of high-yielding crops with new breeding techniques, improved photosynthesis, and AI applications.

    SU Biotec involves 8 plant breeding company members, with two main premises located in Germany. Their main goal is bridging basic with applied research, so they are in constant contact with private and public research centers to take part in R&D projects and transfer the results to practical plant breeding. They utilize technologies like flow cytometry, tissue cultures, and molecular markers to assist the selection process of ideal plant traits. Better crop plants are vital for healthy and safe food, and breeding better crop plants depends on scientific progress. 

    You will be able to ask questions after the presentation. You can read more about SU Biotec’s work here: https://www.saaten-union-biotec.com/ 

    Our UiT ambassador Corine Faehn is the is the moderator of this webinar.

  • Webinar Dec 1st: Using algae to clean factory fumes and produce salmon feed

    Photosyntech – The Norwegian Graduate School on Photosynthetic Eukaryotes, would like to invite you to our first ever webinar. In our webinar series we will explore the potential of the Norwegian plant and algae industry, by inviting experts from the field to give us an introduction to their companies and projects.

    Hans Christian Eilertsen will start our webinar series by giving us an introduction to the Finnfjord Project, a cooperation between UiT – The Arctic University of Norway and the ferrosilicon producer Finnfjord AS, which started in 2015. The intention was to produce nutritious marine biomass by sequestering CO2 from the factory fume. At present they are operating a 300,000 L reactor, and the project is now ready to enter industrial scale production with a 3,000,000 L reactor. The main product is lice deterring salmon feed additive. The project is inter-disciplinary, and includes testing of the feed in industrial aquaculture processes.

    You will get the chance to ask question through the chat after the presentation to learn more about the project and its application. If you already want to have a look at the project, check out this article on the UiT website. Mass cultivation of diatoms at Finnfjord AS | UiT
