About the Project
PROMISCES: Preventing Recalcitrant Organic Mobile Industrial chemicalS for Circular Economy in the Soil-sediment-water system
The increasing water consumption and the impacts of climate change reinforce the need for industrial water reuse and sustainable circular business models.
PROMISCES will:
identify how industrial pollution in the soil-sediment-water system hinders the circular economy with a focus on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
provide innovative technologies to prevent chemical pollution in the environment
develop new analytical methods and tools to provide data on persistent, mobile (PM) substances
assess risks for human health from PM substances
create a decision support tool and policy recommendations
The PROMISCES Project is funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme to support Europe’s Green Deal. It runs from November 2021 to April 2025.
News and Events
PROMISCES Final Roll-Out Event
February 25, 2025
On March 27-28, 2025, the PROMISCES Final Roll-Out Event will take place in collaboration with the NICOLE Network!
This event brings together industry, academia, and policymakers to discuss innovative solutions for emerging, persistent mobile industrial contaminants with a focus on the circulareconomy in the soil-sediment-water system.
Key Topics:
- Monitoring, modeling & risk assessment
- Taking action
- Innovation – Advancing solutions
- Exploring challenges beyond PFAS - emerging concerns, policy and regulatory frameworks
The conference will be free of charge and open to everyone.
Do you want to join this event, but you are not a NICOLE member? No problem! Please contact the NICOLE secretariat for registration details!
