NEXTMARINE is a 48-month Horizon Europe project

Exploring physicochemically extreme marine environments, such as hydrothermal vents in the Aegean Sea and anoxic zones in the Baltic Sea to uncover hidden biodiversity and biotechnological potential.

These ecosystems host microorganisms with unique survival strategies, offering a largely untapped reservoir of novel enzymes with transformative applications in food, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and green industrial processes.
