🌊 What if jellyfish weren’t just beach pests… but a sustainable resource for collagen? For years, jellyfish washed ashore were a headache for fishermen and sunbathers along Spain’s coasts. But now, the COLMED project is flipping the script and transforming this “marine nuisance” into a biotech breakthrough. How? By extracting marine collagen from jellyfish species like Rhizostoma pulmo – a protein goldmine for skincare, medicine, and more. The best part? It’s ethical, sustainable, and supports local fishing communities ♻️ Could this be a model for other coastal regions? Read the full overview in our “news” section on the website ☺️ #euconexus #europeanuniversities #sustainablity #jellyfish #collagen

Led by Dr. Charles Berville — engineer, researcher in sustainable built environments, and co-founder of ClimatoSfera — the event helped participants explore one of the most pressing global issues of the coming decade: climate change. 💡 Through an interactive format powered by Mentimeter, attendees didn't just listen — they engaged. Why? Because involvement means impact: participants retain up to 30% of what they actively take part in, compared to just 3% of a passive lecture! Together, they explored how individuals, communities, and institutions can rethink their impact and take steps toward a more sustainable future. Special thanks to @climato.sfera, the NGO working tirelessly to raise awareness, drive real action, and support sustainable projects across Romania and beyond. ♻️ This conference wasn't just about learning — it was about empowering the next generation to lead the ecological transition. And we're just getting started. If you are a teacher interested in enrolling your pupils in events like this one, please make sure you check the EU-CONEXUS web page listed in bio and that you sign up for our 6th edition of the School Contest "Think Smart, Create Green". #EUCONEXUS #SchoolContest #ClimateAction #ClimatoSfera #SustainableFuture #WeRaiseAwareness #WeAct #WeHelp #ClimateConference #EducationForSustainability
