How will the green shift change land use in rural areas in the Nordic countries, and what consequences will this have for our watercourses and the benefits we have of clean water?

The NordAqua NCoE brings internationally recognized Nordic senior scientists and younger PIs together with experts in industrial biorefinery fields in order to generate a multidisciplinary platform for rapid transition to sustainable blue bioeconomy.
