UTEX presents intensive 2-day workshops for individuals interested in learning principles and practices of growing and managing algal cultures.  Many topics are relevant for those who are interested in commercialization of algae.  The workshops feature presentations and demonstrations, as well as hands-on activities.  Workshops are informal and participants are encouraged to ask questions, share information with the group, and network.

UTEX Managing Microalgal Cultures Workshop:

This workshop is designed to enhance the knowledge of those who are already familiar with algae, provide an introduction to algal culture management for those with no prior experience, and also serve as a precursor to the UT-STF Workshop.  Topics are geared toward individuals who are interested in learning principles and practices of growing and managing algal cultures.  For additional information, including a sample schedule, please click here.

ASU's Arizona Center for Algae Technology and Innovation (AzCATI) and UTEX, through the Algae Testbed Public-Private-Partnership (ATP³), now offer comprehensive workshops on the cultivation of microalgae, strain selection, pilot-scale culture management, harvesting and processing technologies, and the analysis of oil and co-product contents. 

ATP³ Principles and Processes Workshop: Algae Culture Maintenance, Production and Downstream Processing:

This workshop covers the fundamentals of managing microalgae cultures, culturing techniques, measuring biomass, high-value natural products, harvesting and processing technologies, as well as life cycle analysis and operation at the commercial scale. Topics presented are relevant to those interested in obtaining a broad overview on the biology, growth and commercialization of microalgae.  For additional information, including a sample schedule, please click here.
