The COMMECT Türkiye Living Lab, which focuses on advancing digital solutions for olive tree farming, recently participated in a workshop organized by Satellite Applications Catapult and İzmir Tarım Teknoloji Merkezi (ITTM), under the leadership of the Izmir Commodity Exchange.

The COMMECT team, represented by Alya Bolowich from the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), recently presented exciting research at the SETAC Europe LCA Symposium 2024 in Gothenburg. The symposium, organized by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, focuses on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies and their applications across various sectors.

The COMMECT project, now two years into its development, promoted its latest developments at the Synergy Days 2024 event in Barcelona. The event provided an opportunity to share the progress made within COMMECT’s five Living Labs, where digital technologies and innovative business models are being tested.

The COMMECT project was represented at AIOTI Days 2024 in Brussels, where key discussions on the future of IoT, AI, and digital innovation took place. Our consortium members, including Maria Rita Palattella, Srdjan Krčo, and David Pradas, participated in presenting the progress from the COMMECT Living Labs.

The COMMECT project recently presented its environmental impact assessment research at the LCA FOOD 2024 conference. The event focuses on sustainability and life cycle assessments in the food industry. Every year the conference attracts about 450 participants from all over the world. 

Bård Tronvoll and Gabriel Linton from partner organization CREDS at INN attended "The Forest into the Future" in Kongsvinger, Norway. The conference was hosted by another COMMECT partner, Klosser Innovasjon and Lars Gillund.
