On May 22nd, SpoilControl hosted a fascinating webinar led by Zenebe Tadesse Tsegay (SpoilControl – DC14), dedicated to Tej, a traditional Ethiopian honey wine. This event offered participants the opportunity to discover the cultural heritage and microbial complexity behind this unique fermented beverage, highlighting the connection between traditional practices and modern fermentation research.

Over the past few weeks, several members of the SpoilControl consortium have participated in major international scientific conferences, presenting their research and promoting the project's objectives.

SpoilControl recently held its Mid-Term Meeting at the ISVV (Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin) in Bordeaux, bringing together project beneficiaries, associated partners, Doctoral Candidates (DCs), and our European Research Executive Agency (REA) Project Officer.
