This module will have topics such as large-scale current issues; the link between academia and industry, how to translate ideas to industry; collaboration between academia and industry and how industry can drive academia.
Module 2: The tech behind Algae. In this module we discuss the technology required in algal cultivation, the use of photobioreactors, which day-to day measurements and cultivation conditions are required all the way down to specialized analytical techniques (HPLC, GC) used for biochemical composition and molecular biology screening methods.
Module 3: Requirements for the industry from a social, legal, safety and marketing perspective. This module focusses on how society perceive and engages with algae. What the current issues and limitations of algal cultivation are from a legal, environmental, food safety and governmental perspective and discuss potential solutions.
We have carefully planned an exciting and engaging course which includes lecture/seminars introducing the theory of techniques, SOPs best practice discussion groups and networking activities. The course will also offer insights and examples from an industrial and entrepreneurial perspective, that can help the participants to found or improve their own algal-based business.
