YEP MED Development of New Curricula Materials
The proposed approach aims to implement complementary/additional VET courses within the existing institutional framework to achieve concrete results in a shorter period of time. These courses are developed after analysing the labour market skills gaps and in cooperation with public and private stakeholders to respond quickly to urgent needs (quick impact). This deliverable contains the training programs developed and adapted for implementation in the different participating Port Logistics Communities.
YEP MED Placement in Companies Strategy
This deliverable serves as a showcase of the strategies adopted by the YEP MED project to promote the placement in companies of the project's trainees, specifically by Partner nº3 , the Beirut Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture. The strategies aim at boosting the employability of participants through methods such as job fairs, coaching sessions, and a digital job platform.
YEP MED Training of Trainers and Talent Program
This deliverable contains the documentation related to the Training of Trainers (ToT) and Talent activities carried out by the Lead Beneficiary (BEN) within the YEP MED project. Both types of activities involved participants from all of the project’s Port Logistic Communities (PLC). While ToTs were crucial to ensure that each PLC had well prepared trainers, the Talent programme offered a unique opportunity for students and teachers/mentors from each PLC to further their knowledge and skills and create long-lasting international connections. Additionally to the scheduled ToTs, BEN offered individual support and additional support to the partners’ whenever further training was required to carry out the courses throughout the project. The names of participants have been eliminated from this public version of the deliverable for privacy reasons.
YEP MED Identification of Professional Profiles
These deliverables contribute to further precising at a regional scale the professional profiles in the fields of transport and logistics that cannot be covered or that have growth potential. An analysis of sub-sectors identified and labor market needs is developed to attain this. The present studies refer to the Barcelona, Civitavecchia, Beirut, Valencia, and Aqaba Port Logistics Communities.
YEP MED ERP for Simulated Companies
This deliverable provides an overview of the educational module developed within the Click and Cargo Entreprise Resource Planning (ERP) for the conduction of the YEP MED international trade training courses. It showcases the functionalities and most important features of the platform, which has revolutionized the way of training students in the field of freight forwarding and logistics operations. Simulation ensures a practical, hands-on experience, better preparing users to successfully incorporate the workforce.
Anti- and Pro-Oxidant Activity of Polyphenols Extracts of Syrah and Chardonnay Grapevine Pomaces on Melanoma Cancer Cells
The phenolic composition of Syrah and Chardonnay grape pomaces was studied to assess their antioxidant and prooxidant properties. This study shows the potential of winemaking by-products and suggests the opportunity to exploit them for the production of cosmeceuticals, or for combined therapies with approved anticancer drugs.
Valorization of wine-making by-products’ extracts in cosmetics
Grape pomaces are considered of interest due to their high content in bioactive molecules, especially phenolic compounds. The latter can be recovered from grape pomace and used as active ingredients in easily marketable cosmetic products. Indeed, phenolic compounds are well known for their remarkable beneficial properties at the skin level, such as antioxidant, antiaging, anti-hyperpigmentation and photoprotective effects. This review aims to describe the strategies for recovery of polyphenols from grape pomace, to highlight the beneficial potential of these extracts and their potential utilization as active ingredients in cosmetic products.
Technological analysis: wine, cosmetic and nutraceutical industry differences among countries and geographical areas (France, Jordan, Tunisia and Lebanon)
The first part of this analysis (Technological Analysis) focused on a pre-competitive study of the three main sectors of interest (Wine, Cosmetics and Nutraceuticals). The main KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) of the market, development and contraction trends were analyzed and exposed, with a particular focus on products and channels, especially as regards the Cosmetics and Nutraceuticals sectors. The main trends regarding consumers and the reference legislation were also identified and exposed. Finally, the main stakeholders involved in the three sectors were identified and classified on the basis of their potential sphere of influence.
Technological analysis about Italian wine, cosmetic and nutraceutical industries
An analysis of the Italian main economic sectors of interest for obtaining and supplying the by-products from winemaking, as well as the range of possible uses for obtaining innovative products, with particular attention to the concepts of conomics circular and social and environmental sustainability. An entire paragraph has been dedicated to an in-depth analysis of the legislation relating to the disposal of residues from winemaking.
An outlook on modern and sustainable approaches to the management of grape pomace by integrating green processes, biotechnologies and advanced biomedical approaches
Grape pomace is the main solid residue of wine industry, mainly composed of seeds, skins and stalks, all containing high amounts of valuable phytochemicals. Considering its high potential, in this review, an outlook on different resources and products, which can be obtained by the recovery of grape pomace is provided.
From waste to health: sustainable exploitation of grape pomace seed extract to manufacture antioxidant, regenerative and prebiotic nanovesicles within circular economy
Pomace seed extract loaded vesicles were prepared as promising technological and green solution to exploit agri-food wastes and by-products, and develop high value-added products for human health. An antioxidant extract rich in bioactive compounds was obtained from the seeds isolated from the pomace of Cannonau red grape cultivar. Overall results suggest the potential uses in food supplements for the treatment of intestinal disorders.
