Several articles were written by the team members to explain the hurdles and potential of microalgae [77] .

Biocore received an award from the Alpes-Maritimes department for its activities in sustainable development. Moreover, Biocore took part to the COP21 Inria stand, where the challenges for the use of mathematics dedicated to microalgae where presented. Biocore was involved in the "Spring of Researchers" and in the "Fête de la Science", the latter through Stefano Casagranda in the framework of his regional grant.
