The first project meeting online was a success. On December 12th, 2022, BIOMODEL4REGIONS held it first consortium meeting with all partners online. The progress of the project during the first 6 months was presented and the upcoming work was discussed.
For half a day the whole consortium of BIOMODEL4REGIONS meet via Teams and held a fruitful meeting where the latest achievements was presented, progress with the ongoing tasks was reported and ways forward was discussed. The meeting was hosted and moderated by Patrizia Circelli from the lead partner CiaoTech.
Each work package provided a comprehensive overview of the activities carried out during the first six months, what deliveries has been done and milestones reached.
The meeting was also forward looking and provided insights to what steps will be taken next and the general plan for the work during the next six months.
On December 5th, 2022, BIOBESTicide will host its first Training for Farmers to present the innovative biopesticide developed in the frame of the BIOBESTicide Project.
For anyone interested this is an great opportunity to discover the innovative biopesticides developed within the frame of the BIOBESTicide Project.
In this event, which will take place online from 11 to 12 (CET) and it will be moderated by GREENCEEL – the project coordinator, will unravel the features and benefits on a new biopesticide counteract the effects of Grapevine Trunk Diseases on both vineyards and winery industry.

About BIOBESTicide Project
The BIOBESTicide project will validate and demonstrate the production of an effective and cost-efficient biopesticide. The demonstration will be based on an innovative bio-based value chain starting from the valorisation of sustainable biomasses, i.e. beet pulp and sugar molasses, and will exploit the properties of the oomycete Pythium oligandrum strain I-5180 to increase natural plant defenses, to produce an highly effective and eco-friendly biopesticide solution for vine plants protection.
BIOMODEL4REGIONS partners CiaoTech and Zeilona Cheima are also partners in BIOBESTicide.
BIOMODEL4REGIONS will be presented at Ecomondo 2022, the benchmark event in Europe for technological and industrial innovation in the field of green and circular economy, which will be held in Rimini (Italy) from 8th to 11th November 2022.
CiaoTech – PNO Group will have a stand at the conference where BIOMODEL4REGIONS will be one of several projects promoted. The stand will be organized as a display booth showcasing important R&D projects that CiaoTech currently are involved in.

The Cluster of Bioeconomy and Environment of Western Macedonia (CluBE), partner of the BIOMODEL4REGIONS project, joined a local Trade Fair that was includede in the frame of a wider event, the European Week for Waste Reduction, between the 19th and 27th of October 2022.
The European Week for Waste Reduction – EWWR is an initiative to promote the implementation of awareness-raising actions on sustainability and proper waste management during the week of November 19-27, 2022. This year the thematic focus of EWWR is “Circular and Sustainable Textiles.” The project was presented to many participants and selected stakeholders.
The 1st CCIR Coordination and Support Workshop provided many interesting opportunities to network with other projects and extend the reach of BIOMODEL4REGIONS.
Among many new contacts that were established one meeting stands out. This was the first time the coordinator for BIOMODEL4REGIONS had the opportunity to met with the coordinator for ROBIN, a “sister project” founded under the same call.
This meeting offered a possibility to discuss potential synergies and plan for future common activities.
