Our research projects

The aim of the joint project is to investigate the suitability of cut grass from extensive or biotope grassland (e.g. FFH mowing meadows) for the seasonal flexibilisation (seasonalisation) of biogas plants. For this purp…

SMART4ALL builds capacity amongst European stakeholders via the development of selfsustained, cross-border experiments that transfer knowledge and technology between academia and industry. It targets CLEC CPS and the IoT…

The aim of the collaborative project is to develop a modularized mobile system, which will enable an initial spatio-temporal high-resolution population monitoring (4D) of insect populations in orchards, in order to imple…

The targeted use of crop protection agents as required according to the occurrence of pests requires sensor-supported monitoring of the crop fields. The project aims to develop sensor-based methods that enable automated …

The project aims at testing the possibilities of non-thermal plasma treatment as applied for the sterilization (direct plasma treatment) and soaking (use of plasma activated water) of hemp seeds within the hemp seed germ…

The term biospeckle refers to an optical phenomenon caused by the dynamic scattering of radiation in the visible and short-wave near infrared on microscopic and submicroscopic particles in living plant and animal tissues…

The aim of the joint project is to evaluate the carbon sink function with a focus on deeper soil layers (> 30 cm) as a function of the rotation length of former short rotation plantations and - after their uprooting - t…

The 3-year CAFIPLA project will radically alter the biomass pre-treatment approach for bio-economy applications. Current biomass use comes at a high cost, either in terms of land use (sugar/starch crops) or energy and ch…

AquaTech4Feed aims to formulate novel fish feeds from alternative protein-containing biomass sources such as algae, duckweed, insects and microbiomes (bioflakes) in order to improve fish production and product quality. P…

The BeonNAT project aims to increase knowledge about the extraction of various organic products from wood species, trees and shrubs that are currently underutilized. The project evaluates the key aspects in the value cha…
