From an international masterโ€™s programme to cuttin From an international masterโ€™s programme to cutting-edge marine research. ๐Ÿ”ฌ In our latest EU-CONEXUS Alumni Spotlight, we meet Maqbool Ahmad, a graduate of the EU-CONEXUS Joint Masterโ€™s Programme in Marine Biotechnology, who is now undertaking a joint #PhD between the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) and KU Leuven in Belgium. In this clip, Maqbool shares how his current research uses environmental DNA and metagenomics to better understand plankton communities, biodiversity, and how marine ecosystems respond to environmental change. Itโ€™s a fascinating insight into where an #EUCONEXUS journey can lead - and how knowledge gained during the programme continues to shape his research today. ๐Ÿง๐Ÿงช #europeanuniversities #AlumniSpotlight #MarineBiotechnology
๐ŸŒŠ From the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean: @klaip ๐ŸŒŠ From the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean: @klaipedauniversity startup Inobiostar has completed a new phase of field testing for its innovative oil spill clean-up technology, InnoAerogelยฎ, in Athens. The trials were carried out with the Agricultural University of Athens through the EU-CONEXUS alliance. Researchers assessed how the biodegradable sorbent performs under Mediterranean conditions, including higher salinity and warmer temperatures. Made from recycled paper waste and oil-degrading microorganisms, InnoAerogelยฎ offers a sustainable alternative to conventional sorbents and has already shown approximately twice the efficiency of comparable products on the market. Following testing in France and ongoing trials in Finland, the Athens fieldwork brings the technology another step closer to wider application. ๐Ÿ”— Read the full story to learn how EU-CONEXUS cooperation supports research-based innovation and helps scientific ideas move closer to real-world use. #euconexus #europeanuniversities #startup #technology #innoaerogel

โœจ Kalimera from Cyprus! This week, 52 doctoral s โœจ Kalimera from Cyprus! This week, 52 doctoral students from across Europe come together in Nicosia for the 6th edition of the EU-CONEXUS PhD Summer School. Under the theme โ€œAI for Impact: From Smart Tools to Ethical Decision-Makingโ€, participants explore the role of artificial intelligence in research and education, exchange ideas, and build new international connections. The EU-CONEXUS PhD Summer School remains a flagship initiative for doctoral education, strengthening international research networks and preparing young scholars to address the challenges of an increasingly complex and interconnected world. As the event enters its final day tomorrow, we thank our host, @frederick_university , for the excellent organisation and warm hospitality. ๐Ÿค Together, we continue to shape the future of research and innovation in Europe. #EUCONEXUS #PhDSummerSchool #AIforImpact #Research #Innovation DoctoralStudies AcademicExcellence Cyprus

In the final clip of this #EUCONEXUS Alumni Spotlight, Dragos Diaconu from @utcbro reflects on some of the experiences and memories that shaped his journey - from international conferences and student representation to the friendships and connections built through physical mobilities across Europe. He also shares a simple but powerful message for current students: Get involved. Take opportunities. Make the most of the experience while you can. As former President of the #EUCONEXUS Student Board, Dragos helped strengthen student representation across the alliance and experienced first-hand how international collaboration can build confidence, perspective, and lifelong memories. #EUCONEXUS #Alumni #StudentExperience #Mobility
