VIOAXIOPIO project aims at the exploitation of fish by-products and discards (FBPD), which to date are thrown away through the current supply chain (handling, marketing and processing), towards the production of high added value biomolecules (HAVB), such as gelatine, various forms of collagen, fatty acids and minerals-trace elements.
The project will be implemented by two Enterprises (Central Market and Fishery Organizations SA [OKAA] and NAYS, Ioanna Argyrou, Project Planning & Development Consultants) and two research organizations (the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research [HCMR] and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, School of Pharmacy [NKUA-PHARM]). The project will last 3 years, will be realized through 5 Work Packages and 25 Tasks and will include 31 Deliverables.
