🍤 Fried fish, seaweed salad, shrimp risotto – 🍤 Fried fish, seaweed salad, shrimp risotto – we love dishes that come from the sea. What if the secret to better seafood isn’t in how we cook it – but in how we feed it? 🐡 At the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA), researchers are rethinking traditional fish feed. Instead of fishmeal and fish oil, they’re turning to natural alternatives like microalgae, pigment-producing yeasts, and fungi to make aquaculture both healthier and more sustainable. 🐟🐠 Their innovative approach could redefine how we nourish fish (and, ultimately, ourselves). 🔗 Curious to know more?

European University Alliances – A State-of-Play European University Alliances – A State-of-Play 🇪🇺 UTCB’s Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator Ramona Diac (@ramonadiac ) represented UTCB and EU-CONEXUS on the panel “European University Alliances – A State-of-Play,” part of the Erasmus+ Higher Education Seminar (21–22 October 2025). The event was organised by the Romanian National Agency for Community Programs in the Field of Education and Vocational Training at the Central Library of the National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest. Please find below Ramona’s testimonial 👇 “Together with colleagues from CIVIS, EURECA-PRO, and EUDRES, we discussed how European alliances are transforming higher education, the synergies with the Erasmus+ programme, and the day-to-day challenges of inter-institutional collaboration. For @utcbro , belonging to EU-CONEXUS means: 🌍 a strategic framework for European cooperation that connects the university to an interdisciplinary network dedicated to urban and coastal sustainability; 🤝 a driver of institutional innovation that fosters collaboration across faculties, offices, and international teams; 🎓 a platform for professional and curricular development, where mobilities, micro-credentials, and BIPs become real instruments for learning and transformation; 📚 and, not least, European visibility for UTCB students, academic staff, and administrative personnel. Our thanks to the ANPCDEFP team for the invitation and the professional forum for dialogue, as well as to colleagues from the participating alliances for their openness and the ideas shared.” #ErasmusPlus #EUCONEXUS #UTCB #EuropeanUniversities #HigherEducation #Internationalisation #Sustainability #Mobility #Cooperation

On 21–22 October 2025, EU-CONEXUS joined the int On 21–22 October 2025, EU-CONEXUS joined the international @transform4europe Strategic Policy Conference on resilience at @vduni (Vytautas Magnus University) in Kaunas, Lithuania. The event brought together European leaders and experts to explore resilience from personal well-being to geopolitics and higher education’s role in society. 👏🤝 We were proud to showcase our good practices from the School Contest and the Stakeholder Academy, highlighting how we impact societies through education. Our poster presentation attracted great interest from participants and sparked engaging, conversations about the transformative role of universities in building resilient communities. 🤜🤛 It was inspiring to meet colleagues from other European University alliances, exchange ideas, and bring home fresh best practices we can adapt locally. Events like this remind us that resilience is not only an individual skill—it’s a shared capacity we build together across institutions, regions, and sectors. ☺️ #euconexus #europeauniversities #alliance #conference #internationalconference #partnerships

But for scientists, the new natural formations paint an image of what a post-ice age world might have looked like. 🥶What happens in places that have been frozen for millennia — and are only now waking up? The research team from @klaipedauniversity Marine Research Institute is on the ground in the European Arctic every year. Equipped with sonar devices, sensors, and inflatable boats, they’re mapping a new lagoon that may shape the future of Arctic biodiversity. Could these newborn ecosystems offer an example of resilience under pressure?
