The 1st annual meeting of metasimfood project took place in Strasbourg last thursday 12th of january. Follow the news using our project website.

The meeting was organised by Aérial partner and began the evening before, with a very convivial dinner in an emblematic “brasserie” in front of the cathedral; then by a hard day’s work on the site of Aérial in Illkirsch. This day was organised around the assessment of the work of WP1: construction of the food models and WP2: construction of artificial microbial communities and to start the planning of the work of WP3: ecological network modelling; which will start in 6 months.

During lunch break, metasimfood partners were able to enjoy a guided tour of the impressive infrastructure (Feerix), unique in Europe, allowing advanced R&D in the field of decontamination with the Rhodotron (electron accelerator).
