What is @ABSOLUTE_ERC? It is an @ERC_Research funded Adv. project under @Eoin_Casey_UCD based at @UCD_ChemEng and supported by @UCD_Research & @NovaUCD that will develop new biofilm-based technologies that are more energy efficient and capable of better resource recovery.

I participated in a roundtable discussion on the importance of @ERC_Research funded research and my own experience at @UCD_ChemEng in how this contributes to innovation and startups #ABSOLUTE #ERC #UCD

It was an honour to meet Ekaterina Zaharieva , European Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, and members of her Cabinet at University College Dublin this week.

Our Ciaran Dunne also presented on his ongoing PhD research on a unique biofilm phenotype from aggregate innocula this week at #Eurobiofilms2024. A fantastic week with plenty of interesting and thought provoking discussions! #biofilms #microbiology #ABSOLUTE

[ABSOLUTE: Adv ERC-funded project (2023-27) @ABSOLUTE_ERC]

Our @JacobusBrink presented on the 'Dynamics of Spatial Organisation in Biofilm Formation' at the 2024 #EUROBIOFILMS2024

[Jacobus Brink @JacobusBrink]

Honoured to have presented my PhD research- Aggregates in Action: Dynamics and Spatial Organisation in Biofilm Formation at #EUROBIOFILMS2024 in Copenhagen. Grateful to @Eoin_Casey_UCD, @DishonWH, @raghukmoorthy, @dibyangshee, @Biofilm_Lab_UCD and @ERC_Research for their support.

We have been quiet for a long time here at @ABSOLUTE_ERC because we have been locked in our lab at @UCD_ChemEng gathering our data. But last June we burst forth to hit the conference scene with our findings #ABSOLUTE #biofilms

Overall, the findings will assist the water sector in moving towards net zero emissions and also in contributing to the circular economy.

[ABSOLUTE: Adv ERC-funded project (2023-27) @ABSOLUTE_ERC]

One of the most common wastewater treatment processes uses biofilms to transform pollutants. While biofilm process are increasingly important for nutrient removal, there have been limited improvements in the technology.

The EU-funded ABSOLUTE project will develop new biofilm-based technologies that are more energy efficient and capable of better resource recovery.
