Project description
Harnessing fungi for a green revolution
Modern society faces a pressing challenge: the contamination of vital resources like soil, sludge, sediments, and water. Traditional remediation methods fall short in these crucial areas, underscoring the urgent need for innovative solutions. In this context, the EU-funded EEM (Enabling Environmental Mycotechnologies) project will embrace innovative fungal-based strategies, which hold immense potential for bioremediation and ecosystem restoration (mycoremediation and mycorestoration). Beyond rejuvenating degraded ecosystems, EEM envisions a sustainable revolution that extends to low-carbon agricultural solutions, novel mycomaterials, industrial enzyme production through a fungal biorefinery, e.g. mycorefinery, and agri-food industry products. Furthermore, by securing intellectual property and outlining a strategic roadmap, EEM charts a course towards a greener future.
Objective
Enabling Environmental Mycotechnologies (EEM)
EEM aims at developing soil fungal based remediation solutions to a commercial scale. Indeed, emerging fungal-based approaches have been proposed as attractive options for the biological treatment of polluted matrices, such as soil, sludge & sediments, and water. Such mycotechnological approaches also offer an exciting potential for the restoration of degraded ecosystems (mycoremediation and mycorestoration) as they have the potential to foster the adoption of low carbon, sustainable solutions in many industrial fields such as: agricultural biologicals (biostimulants, biopesticides, etc.), mycomaterials, production of enzymes for the industrial sector, products for the agri-food industry.
The specific objectives of EEM are:
•Securing NOVOBIOM’s core IP assets as one proprietary dynamic knowledge repository: this will be achieved by establishing a tailored fungal database for environmental applications
•Setting NOVOBIOM’s strategic roadmap for the protection, diversification and scaling of all foreseen fungal applications.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
