The coordinator E.Balsa-Canto addressed to the partnership to assess the overall project development. Despite of all difficulties that have had to be overcome by the partners, the objectives have been achieved and the results are satisfactory.
She reviewed the work that remained to be done and explained that the results can still be communicated beyond the project.
Oamk’s publication “Optimizing Power Management in Printed electronics Smart Label System” was accepted by the scientific committee of the Interdisciplinary Conference on Mechanics, Computers and Electrics (http://www.icmece.org) in Barcelona on October. Our partners will be presenting the paper online at the conference.
The goal of ICMECE 2022 is to gather scientists, engineers, researchers, technicians and industrial representatives to present the cutting-edge studies on Mechanical, Computer and Electrical Systems and form an interdisciplinary academic forum to discuss the scientific and engineering issues to arrive at more complete systems for the applications of future world.
The latest news about the conference can be followed from the website at
The Conference Proceedings will be delivered via web-site just after the conference.
We hare happy to inform all of you that a video demonstration of the Seafood-Age project pilot chain is available on the Seafood-Age project’s YouTube channel:
The aim of this video is to demonstrate the feasibility of all processes from the value chain (RTE seafood meal+packaging+labelling). Thus, the video is focused on the production chain, and laboratory developments such as bioactives assessment and methods for controlling traceability and security are not included.
Currently, the video is available in English with subtitles in English, French and Spanish, in order to be presented during activities that are taking place this week in France and Spain. Subtitles in other languages of the project will be available soon.

Agenda:
Our partners from the IIM-CSIC took part of the «Feira do Océano» organised by their institution to celebrate the World Oceans Day.
The first edition of this Ocean Fair was celebrated on 8th of June as a scientific dissemination fair where the IIM-CSIC took to the streets to meet the citizens of Vigo.
The Fair was held throughout the day under the tents installed in the Bouzas neighborhood. In the morning, the researchers received the students of IES Beade and the schools Javier Sensat, Atlántida, Virxe do Rocío and Mestre Manuel García. And in the afternoon the workshops were opened to the general public.
With the slogan «Choose smart food» the group led by Eva Balsa-Canto showed several results of the project: the production of ingredients and food of marine origin using circular economy concepts, the use of DNA-based techniques for the identification of ingredients or an intelligent label that allows monitoring the quality of food throughout the chain.
SEAFOOD-AGE project counted with the participation of Rogelio Santos Queiruga, as guest of honor.
The well-known seafood expert Rogelio Santos Queiruga was present all day at the fair, chatting with the kids. Rogelio has been working for 27 years, out of his 45, as a sailor, fisherman and disseminator of the values of the sea and fishing. He is promoter of sustainability, science, and responsible consumption as keys to a better future and he shares the values of our project.
The media echoed the news and the regional television reported on the fair in situ.
