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

In our new series "PFAS Points", we want to introduce you to the topic of PFAS: What are PFAS? Why are they so dangerous? What is being done about them? And how does PROMISCES support the fight against PFAS? The first part "What are PFAS" is now available in our blog!
PROMISCES is organising a Water Projects Europe event
November 14, 2024
The three European projects PROMISCES, SCENARIOS and
LIFE SOuRCE join forces for a Water Projects Europe event on
“PFAS Solutions: Technologies and Policies for Circular Water Cycles in Support of the Zero Pollution Action Plan”, providing a deep dive into their PFAS management strategies.
Join us on 10 December, 2024, from 9:00 - 12:30 CET to explore strategies to move towards the Zero Pollution Action Plan and for the opportunity to meet with experts on PFAS treatment technologies and policies for water cycles!
The event is part of Water Knowledge Europe and will be free of charge.
PROMISCES 5th Steering Committee Meeting
November 12, 2024
On November 8, 2024, we had our 5th Steering Committee Meeting!
All partners met online to present their work and to discuss the project's outcomes. We had very fruitful conversations and also interactive sessions about policy recommendations and exploitable results.
Another focus was on the partners' next steps in PROMISCES. You can look forward to several new publications and many results with a big impact!
