5 days of conferences and networking
An international scientific event dedicated to fungal innovation and edible forest products. The conference is articulated around seminars, workshops and networking activities aiming at bringing together regional, national and international experts in mycology and mycotechnology to showcase mycological innovation successes from the past 5 years.
This scientific event will enable the networking of industry and research stakeholders from here and abroad, with the aim of stimulating innovation and collaborations.
Mycotechnology
Mycotechnologies harness, among other things, the extraordinary properties of mushrooms, as well as their diversity, efficiency, and specificity to develop products and processes that can be applied to diverse sectors, including agriculture, agri-food, materials, etc. Events surrounding this theme will contribute to sharing mycotechnology innovations and showcasing the substantial underexploited environmental and economic potential of fungi.
