TERRA Innovation Day (2022)
In 2022, TERRA organised the TERRA Innovation Day, a rally-competition that invited researchers and students of the university community to discover the scientific activities and projects of the Centre.
On 31 May 2022, the Terra Teaching and Research Centre and the Faculty of Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech (University of Liège) organised the 3rd TERRA INNOVATION DAY.
The day was organised in the form of a rally-competition through the different laboratories of the Research Unit. The day was also an opportunity to present the research conducted in partnership with the Université Libre de Bruxelles, with the presence of Prof. Marius Gilbert, vice-rector for research and development of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, and Prof. Frédéric Debaste, vice-president of the Ecole Interfacultaire de Bioingénieurs of the ULB.
This year, 22 activities were proposed on the campus and in the experimental plots of Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech:
- CABS 1: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), we have more than one trick up our sleeve to trap them!
