Online voting is now open for Project BYTHOS, Biotechnologies For Human Health and Blue Growth, co-financed by the Interreg Italia-Malta Programme and of which the University of Malta is a member.

The UM said that this project is among the 5 finalists in the category “A competitive and smart Europe” of the European RegioStars Award and was selected from 262 applications

The project, which sees the participation of Sicilian and Maltese partners, utilised side streams from the fish processing industry to create ingredients for human and animal wellbeing. Bioactive molecules with health-promoting properties were extracted for use in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmetics.

Finalists will be awarded with the Public Choice Award during a REGIOSTARS ceremony.

Any EU citizen is welcome to cast their vote till the 9th of October (12:00 noon).
