The meeting was organised by sayfood partner in the brand new AgroParisTech building in Palaiseau. These two days were focussed on the milestone around the construction of the food models and construction of artificial microbial communities. We are glad that this important milestone is validated. The project will now enter a more ambitious phase, implementing synthetic ecology strategies to model microbial interactions in the project’s two models (wine and fermented vegetables). The meeting was punctuated by a very pleasant dinner at the living-room in Palaiseau.

Exploring the Interconnected World of Microbiomes
In our contribution to the last Microbiome Support CSA review, coordinated by A. sessitch and T. Kostic1, we reveal the critical roles of microbiomes in maintaining ecosystem health and their extensive interconnectivity across different environments. These diverse microbial communities are exchanged constantly, affecting everything from climate regulation to human health.

LABIP Expert Workshop Microbial Diversity & Health
In Leiden, Netherlands, 7 – 8 June 2023, the recent LABIP1 Expert Workshop on “Microbial Diversity & Health” brought together experts to explore this relationship. The workshop began with an objective to examine the impact of microbial diversity in food on health. Presentations covered topics such as the role of beneficial microbes, consequences of food processing on microbial diversity, and harnessing gut microbiome diversity.

Domino project shines at PIMENTO Forum
The recent PIMENTO Forum served as a platform for the HorizonEU DOMINO project. Stéphane and Marie present their ambitious goals under Horizon Europe. The DOMINO project, funded by Horizon Europe, aims to address critical challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering connectivity among actors in the scientific community. The project received positive feedback at the forum, with an emphasis on Living-Labs and networking through COST PIMENTO.

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.
