The ADAGIO project aims to create and highlight the impact of a nutritional solution that promotes the development of intestinal mechanisms leading to good digestive health in farm animals, particularly in the France-Wallonia-Flanders region. This research could also lead to the development of dietary supplements for human consumption.

The main challenge of the European Interreg ThreeC project is to promote the development of bio-sourced coal supply chains in a sustainable and climate-friendly manner.

In France, one of ThreeC's challenges is to identify, bring together and then form groups of stakeholders interested in biochar (bio-sourced charcoal) at all levels of the sector:

• biomass producers
• processors (e.g., gasification stakeholders)
• users of charcoal for water and air treatment and agricultural uses

This project aims to develop and introduce economically viable value chains based on the use of biochar from biomass waste in northwestern Europe.

Promote the development of the circular economy in the building sector through the implementation of a workshop dedicated to developing criteria and indicators that will serve as a scientific basis for its characterization. The research will focus more specifically on the integration into construction projects of materials or products from short supply chains or from a material cycle extension approach.

Project date: 01/05/2018 to 31/10/2021

The MEET project aims to encourage the development of improved geothermal systems through demonstration sites in different geological contexts across Europe.
