The Cyan’EAU project took part in the 1st International Online Conference on Xenobiotics (IOCXe 2026), held on June 22–23 in an online format, through the participation of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP).
The presentation took place on June 23, with Olga Lage representing the consortium and sharing the project’s latest progress. This contribution provided visibility to Cyan’EAU’s work in the field of sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems.
During the presentation, the growing challenge of cyanobacterial blooms in inland water bodies was addressed—a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly frequent and can have environmental, social, and economic implications.
The importance of improving the understanding of these processes was also highlighted, along with the need to move towards approaches based on prevention and early detection, which are key to more effective water resource management.
Participation in international conferences such as IOCXe 2026 represents a strategic opportunity to:
- Share knowledge with the international scientific community
- Foster new collaborations and synergies
- Enhance the visibility of the Cyan’EAU project at the European level
