“We are delighted to announce the conference “Elevating Nordic algal biotechnology: from fundamental photosynthesis to industry” and invite you to Turku, Finland from 8^th to 10^th June 2022. The three-day conference will bring together excellent teams from academia and industry, and focuses on advances with cyanobacteria, micro-and macroalgae.

The conference merges the Nordic Algae Symposium 2022 (NAS22) and the last annual symposium of NordAqua, the Nordic Centre of Excellence (NCoE) funded by the NordForsk Bioeconomy Programme (2017-2022). NordAqua is a Nordic network of ten academic institutes along with several industrial partners with a goal of developing a value chain of activities for transition to a sustainable blue bio-economy. The series of annual Nordic Algae Symposia was initiated in 2018 by the University of Turku and has been organized in different Nordic countries to provide a professional arena for Nordic algaeneers.”
