Immunotherapies are treatments that stimulate the body&#8217;s immune system to fight cancer. If the research team succeed in their efforts, the results could revolutionize cancer treatment.

If we can do that and learn how to predict these properties quickly, easily and accurately, then the project will already have been a success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Maria Morits, the impact of a research project should not be assessed along the impactful vs non-impactful axis, but impact is the sum of different project components. One component may be successful and produce results even if another component fails.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One way to achieve successes is for members of the research team and company representatives to meet monthly or more often to review current results. \u201cIf we feel that something isn\u2019t quite working, we will look into that straight away and try to figure out problems as they arise,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-e45da1b ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-container__wrapper ugb-e45da1b-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-container__side\"><div class=\"ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-e45da1b-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:32% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vaikuttavuussaatio.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/juha_oksanen_small-738x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-156337 size-full lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vaikuttavuussaatio.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/juha_oksanen_small-738x1024.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.vaikuttavuussaatio.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/juha_oksanen_small-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.vaikuttavuussaatio.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/juha_oksanen_small-768x1066.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vaikuttavuussaatio.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/juha_oksanen_small.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 738px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 738\/1024;\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Juha Oksanen&#8217;s company Oksasen puutarha is a partner in the University of Turku project \u201cIntegration of greenhouse farming and microalgae bioproduction for a sustainable circular agriculture approach (AgriAlga)\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-spacer ugb-spacer ugb-75f1263 ugb-spacer--v2 ugb-main-block ugb--hide-mobile\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-75f1263.ugb-spacer{height:30px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-spacer--inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes it may take years for the true impact of an industry-academia collaboration to become apparent, says <strong>Juha Oksanen<\/strong>, whose company is working in a joint project with the University of Turku. This project is aimed at creating a closed greenhouse cultivation cycle where the waste generated in production can be recycled as raw material for cultivation. At best the project could produce a number of important results that serve both research and the company\u2019s business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project team are currently focused on exploring what types of microalgae can be grown in greenhouse wastewater. At Oksanen\u2019s company called Oksasen puutarha, wastewater is typically generated in the treatment of plant growing substrates and plant debris. This is highly rich in nutrients, but it is also very dirty and may contain plant diseases. Microalgae can use the nutrients in greenhouse wastewater for their growth, and the treatment of the algae-growing equipment helps to remove plant diseases from the wastewater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis project allows us to monitor the quality of our wastewater in ways that we wouldn\u2019t be able to do without research collaboration,\u201d Oksanen says. Ultimately the results from the research will bring direct cost savings to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMunicipal wastewater charges mean that wastewater is an expensive outlay for us. That\u2019s why from a business point of view we would like to get to the point where we don\u2019t generate any wastewater at all. At the same time we can reduce our water consumption.\u201d Results on the cleansing effect of algae growing are expected in spring 2024.<br>Another possible manifestation of a project\u2019s impact are new business opportunities created by the knowledge produced in the project. Microalgae grow very rapidly and the project is constantly producing new results on what kind of algae flourish in greenhouse wastewater. \u201cGrowing algae may emerge as a whole new business alongside greenhouse production,\u201d Oksanen concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes the highest-impact research is work whose outcomes cannot be predicted in advance How is research impact defined and understood in the day-to-day work of academic researchers and business companies?
