INESC TEC, a partner in the INNOAQUA project, participated in the XXVIII Encontro Galego-Português de Química, held in Galicia, Spain, from November 13 to 15, 2024. This event, a key meeting point for the Portuguese and Galician scientific communities, focuses on advancing collaboration and knowledge exchange in the field of chemistry and its applications across various industries.
The XXVIII Encontro Galego-Português de Química brought together academics, researchers, and industry professionals to discuss the latest developments in chemical research and its implications for sustainability, technology, and innovation. With a rich program that included keynote speeches, panel discussions, and poster sessions, the event provided an important platform for presenting cutting-edge projects and fostering cross-border collaboration.
At the conference, INESC TEC showcased its contributions to the INNOAQUA project, which aims to develop innovative solutions for sustainable aquaculture practices and algae-based applications. INESC TEC’s presentation highlighted its work on advanced optical sensors designed to monitor key parameters such as dissolved carbon dioxide, nitrates, turbidity, and temperature. These sensors, integrated within a Multisensing Module, enable real-time monitoring and dynamic control of production systems, particularly in the fish-algae symbiosis.
Additionally, the presentation covered the development of the Digital Twin Backbone (DTB), a data architecture that supports the digitalization of aquaculture systems by providing real-time data accessibility and facilitating intelligent operations and maintenance. These advancements align with the broader goals of the INNOAQUA project to enhance the efficiency, scalability, and sustainability of the aquaculture industry.
The participation of INESC TEC at this event underscored the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing global challenges. The XXVIII Encontro Galego-Português de Química served as an ideal venue to share knowledge, engage with stakeholders, and strengthen connections between the academic and industrial sectors, ultimately contributing to the advancement of sustainable practices in aquaculture.
