March 2026 — Mentor in Residence Awarded
The Polyamines Lab has been awarded a Mentor in Residence (MiR) grant within the Fons per al Impuls de la Innovació (F2I) program of the University of Barcelona, managed through the Fundación Bosch i Gimpera (FBG).
This initiative supports technology transfer projects with strong potential for spin-off creation, providing access to specialized mentoring and targeted funding. The program will allow us to strengthen the translational dimension of our research, particularly in the development of biostimulant strategies aimed at improving crop resilience.
December 2025 — IMPULS AgriTech: Microbial Solutions awarded first prize
The Polyamines Lab, represented by Kostadin E. Atanasov, participated in the IMPULS AgriTech 2025 pre-acceleration program, culminating in the Demo Day held on December 17 at the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food.
Our project, Microbial Solutions, focused on the development of biostimulants to enhance crop resilience under stress conditions, was awarded first prize by an expert jury. The project was recognized for its strong technical foundation, clarity of presentation, and potential for real-world application.
IMPULS AgriTech, promoted by the X_AgriTech network, supports the transformation of research outcomes into market-ready solutions through training, mentoring, and engagement with the innovation ecosystem. This recognition reinforces our ongoing efforts to translate fundamental research on plant–microbe interactions and metabolic signaling into sustainable agricultural solutions.
