18M consortium meeting

Gembloux, Belgium - 4/5th December 2025

Last week, the SURFs UP project consortium gathered in Gembloux, Belgium, for our 18-month project meeting, kindly hosted by ULiège. It was a valuable opportunity to measure our progress, align on next steps, and strengthen collaboration across the consortium.

On the second day, we had our first advisory board meeting, and partners also had the opportunity to visit ULiège’s facilities and those of Ajinomoto, gaining firsthand insight into the research environment that supports our work on the valorisation of lignin and other residues for the production of bio-based surfactants
