The fourth consortium meeting of the Interreg Sudoe Phos4Cycle project was held on October 7–8, 2025, in Coimbra—marking the first time the event took place in Portugal. The meeting was hosted by the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra (LinkedIn) and brought together the nine project partners: itagra.ct, Itavi (Institut Technique de l’Aviculture, Pisciculture et Cuniculture), FEDEHESA (Spanish Federation of Dehesa), INIAV, IP (National Institute for Agricultural and Veterinary Research), CALCOB (Agricultural Cooperative of Oliveira do Bairro and Vagos, CRL), AQUACORP, ADERA, the Government of La Rioja, and the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra itself.
Over the two working days, participants reviewed the activities carried out by the three working groups and the project’s communication efforts in recent months, presented progress made in the six pilot sites, and planned the next steps for each pilot location.
Additionally, the co-creation of the project’s second audiovisual piece was advanced, aimed at disseminating the results achieved. On the second day, a visit to the Coimbra pilot site allowed partners to observe the activities carried out on the ground as part of the project. This meeting served to reinforce collaboration among participating entities and consolidate progress toward Phos4Cycle’s goals, which focus on promoting more sustainable agriculture in southwestern Europe through phosphorus recovery and valorization.
The next consortium meeting will be held in April 2026.
