Winner of the Open mind subsidy (NWO), for the development of the first ever Seaweed Continues bioReactor (SeaCoRe), that is specifically tailored to MultiAnnual Delayed kelp gametophyte propagation, using the controlled reproductive method (2017). Innovation awards recipient at Seagriculture EU (2022) Successful development of one of the first kelp varieties in North western Europe. Achieved through the cloning and subsequent crossbreeding of hybrid seaweeds for the Norwegian, Dutch and Faroes market.
