PARTNERS:
 
Network of Valencian Municipalities for Sustainability. The Network of Municipalities is an Association that serves as a focal point for the exchange of experiences for municipal areas in the Province of Valencia that are in the process of preparing and implementing the Local Agenda 21 programme or are planning to do so in the future. It also deals with matters pertaining to grants and subsidies related to this objective.

University of Alicante. The University of Alicante's participation is to be channelled through a group of researchers belonging to the Instituto Universitario Iberoamericano de la Biodiversidad CIBIO. The team, which is to be co-ordinated by Dr. Santos Rojo, is to be composed of 3 doctors in entomology, 2 doctors in botany and at least 2 grant holders, who are to complete their doctoral thesis whilst working on the Project. The majority of the CIBIO team members is specialised in the study of the biology and taxonomy of various groups of diptera. In specific terms, the group’s role within ECODIPTERA is to be focussed on the identification and selection of the species of varieties of necrophagous diptera with the greatest capacity to degrade organic material (liquids, solids, as well as semi-solids), as well as those more suited to mass reproduction under controlled conditions. The University of Alicante is to co-ordinate the technological consortium within this Project.

Institute of Zoology Slovak Academy of Sciences. The Institute of Zoology, which belongs to the Slovakian Academy of Science, participates in the ECOPDIPTERA LIFE project under the leadership of Dr. Peter Takáè. The Slovakian team is composed of three members of the Institute’s research staff, together with various laboratory assistants and technicians. The Institute of Zoology’s main work is to be centred on the configuration of the basic design of the prototype manure bio-degradation plant, which is to be constructed at the end of the Project in the Los Serranos region of Valencia (Spain). The Slovakian team has ample experience in the mass-scale industrial breeding of diptera. Additionally, the team is responsible for a pilot plant constructed in Slovakia, which was used to evaluate the chicken manure biodegradation possibilities of various coprophagous diptera. In conjunction with the University of Alicante team, the Slovakian team is to be responsible for the construction and assembly of a pilot plant in Spain, which is to demonstrate the viability of employing fly larvae as pig manure biodegradation agents.

Helsingin yliopisto (University of Helsinki). The University of Helsinki, through the Finnish Natural History Museum (Entomology Department) is the third of the technological partners participating in ECODIPTERA LIFE. The Department's team is to be directed by Dr. Gunilla Ståhls. The Museum team’s main work is to be centred on the generic characterisation of the varieties and populations of saprophagous diptera employed during the biodegradation process. Dr Ståhls is an internationally renowned specialist in the molecular analysis of the various families of diptera found in the Northern Hemisphere. Molecular markers enable the limits existing between similar species to be established, as well facilitating the identification of varieties that are not detectable by means of conventional morphological analysis.
