The project, which aims at a better environmental sustainability and port energy efficiency through cross-border institutional cooperation, will also be present in the virtual stand of the Autonomous Region Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the patronage granted by proESOF (ESOF2020 promotion initiative) to the BLUEGRASS project, whose results of the introduction and development of aquaponics in the cross-border area between Italy and Slovenia were exhibited during its final conference on July 10.
