6th scientific meeting of ANR metasimfood project in Strasbourg
On Tuesday 7th of January, the 7 partners gathered for the second time in Illkirch (close to Strasbourg) and were hosted by Aérial. The meeting was focused on the main advances carried out on the fermented vegetables food model with exiting results confirming the hypothesis postulated earlier in the project. Also, the evening before the meeting, Aérial organized a specific visit of the largest Sauerkraut producer in France, at a small village 30 km south of Strasbourg.
DOMINO: Advancing Food Microbiome Science Across Europe
The DOMINO project is at the forefront of connecting microbiome science, food systems, and health in Europe. Recent activities highlight how DOMINO is driving innovation and fostering collaboration:
Ferments du Futur Innovation Center is open
At the recent opening of the Ferments du Futur Innovation Center (CI2F) in Paris-Saclay, Killian shared insights about how our new plateform PIAM (Print, Image, Analytics and Micro-fermenters) housed in MICALIS supports innovation in industrial fermentation, microbial consortia development, and health-related applications.
COST PIMENTO Workshop in Bratislava: A Successful Gathering for the Future of Fermented Foods
From September 16 to 19, Bratislava hosted the latest COST PIMENTO workshop, bringing together key members of the management committee, core group, and working groups. This fruitful event, organized by the National Agricultural and Food Centre (Food Research Institute), provided an opportunity to discuss the future direction of fermented foods research.

A seed meeting between INRAE Micalis Institute and Imperial College London
Last week on October 3rd, scientists from Imperial College London (ICL) and from INRAE Micalis Institute were hosted by the French embassy in London for a seed meeting around synthetic biology and synthetic microbial ecology as scientific strategies for biotechnology and food production. A special thanks to the organizer: Ludovic Drouin (French Embassy), Young-Kyoung Park (Micalis) and Rodriguo Ledesma-Amaro (ICL). Our several groups with complementary research discussed about perspectives of future collaborations on the field together with Ferment du Futur or Bezos Centre.
