Eva-Mari Aro is a pioneer in photosynthesis research. In honour of her remarkable research, the University of Turku is organising the EMA2024 symposium, which has brought more than 150 researchers from around the world to Turku. The event kicked off on Sunday 8 September with a plenary lecture and portrait unveiling.
The International EMA2024 Symposium on Photosynthesis Research in Honor of Eva-Mari Aro will take place on 8-11 September in Turku. Aro's life's work will be celebrated at the symposium's opening ceremony on Sunday, September 8, with a portrait unveiling and a plenary lecture.
The new AlgaTECH algae production facility at the University of Turku uses greenhouse or industrial waste water to produce ecological and cost-effective algal biomass. The researchers are developing new and suitable uses for algae biomass. The aim is to promote the Nordic bio-industry.
The universities in Turku launched in autumn 2021 a joint webinar series focusing on technology and sustainable development. Aboa Tech Talks will highlight new technologies and innovative technological research that can offer solutions to the complex global challenges of our time.
Academician, Professor of Molecular Plant Biology Eva-Mari Aro has been selected for her substantial contribution to photosynthesis research to the esteemed Royal Society. The Society is a national academy of sciences in the United Kingdom made up of the world’s most eminent scientists from all the disciplines in science, engineering and medicine.

The Photosynthetic Microbes team from the University of Turku received over 900 000 € to build a large algae plant for the validation of cultivation processes in the Nordic environment. The team will grow microalgae in drain water from greenhouses to clean water, recover nutrients and lower microalgae production costs.
The dissertation research of MSC Steffen Grebe provides new insights into the photosynthetic aspects of evergreen conifers and their dynamic response to seasonal environmental changes.
