The METland technology has been recognised with the Innovation Award, as announced last 14 September during the European Meeting of the International Society for Microbial Electrochemistry and Technology (EU-ISMET2020). The purpose of this award is to acknowledge the best technical innovation within the field of microbial electrochemical technologies as published between July of the previous year and the nomination deadline.
The H2020 iMETland project has been chosen among the top three in Europe by experts at KETBIO, a funded initiative for the transfer of biotechnology research results. The proposal, that ranked in the second place, has been coordinated by Bioe Group.

Javier de la Mata, Vice-chancellor for Research and Transfer at the University of Alcalá, and Fernando Cruz-Roldán, director of Technology Transfer, visited last 5 March the pilot plant of the Life-ANSWER project (Advanced Nutrient Solutions With Electrochemical Recovery), in which the Bioe group participates.
Dr Abraham Esteve Núñez, Bioe group's principal investigator, participated on 21 October in a TEDx conference, the meetings of divulgation that gather experts from different subjects to expose in an accessible way their research or personal experiences.
H2020 project iMETland is the subject of a report in Futuris, the Euronews programme dedicated to European research.
