Webinar on "Remediating Contaminated Sites by Persistent, Mobile, and Toxic Substances: H2020 Projects Case Studies & Results"
March 11, 2024
Save the date! On 10 April, 2024, PROMISCES, ZeroPM and SCENARIOS are planning a webinar about PFAS remediation techniques.
The webinar is a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into innovative solutions for addressing persistent, mobile, and toxic substances. Don't miss the chance to broaden your knowledge and engage with experts in the field.
Kick-off meeting for CEN Workshop Agreement
February 23, 2024
On 15 February, we met for the kick-off meeting of our CEN Workshop on “Soil-sediment-water system - Solutions to deal with PMT/vPvM substances”! During this meeting, all participants got a deeper insight on what the CWA is about and an overview about the involvedd projects. Further, the project plan was introduced. The participants also had the opportunity to discuss the CWA topics and bring in their expertise.
PROMISCES at CWP's "Water Innovation Day"
16 February, 2024
PROMISCES was presented at the Catalan Water Partnership CWP "Water Innovation Day" on 14 February, 2024!
Our partner Maria José Muñoz from Consorci Besòs Tordera (CBT) not only told the audience in an elevator pitch about their tasks in the project but also explained Case Study 3. In this Case Study, CBT together with other partners is working on promoting the water reuse in the Besòs River basin. This is very important, especially in the dry areas of Catalonia where water restrictions and consumption cuts are often adopted due to the occurrence of severe droughts.
At the event, 15 innovative water projects were presented to ca. 135 people in the audience.
Video of the second online webinar on "Models of Toxicology" now online
February 14, 2024
Did you miss the second online webinar on "Models of Toxicology" of our sister project ALTERNATIVE? No problem! You can now find the video of the webinar online to rewatch.
Our colleague Anita Sosnowska from QSAR Lab presented their Structure-based approach for predicting toxicity of PFAS at the webinar.
CEN Workshop Agreement
Great news ahead! PROMISCES, in collaboration with our sister projects ZeroPM and SCENARIOS, is developing a CEN Workshop Agreement focused on the soil-sediment-water system. This agreement aims to provide solutions for managing PMT/vPvM substances.
PROMISCES at Ecomondo
At the Ecomondo 2023, PROMISCES will be represented at the European Commission stand. In addition, there will also be presentations about PROMISCES by partners.
Article: More knowledge on PFAS in water
Our partners from Deltares recently published an article about PROMISCES in their deltalife magazine. To give an overview over the project and why it is so important, Deltares talked to Julie Lions, the project coordinator from BRGM.
Further, they tell more about their task in the project which is, e.g., developing in collaboration a model train to simulate the PFAS transportation. Here, artificial intelligence and machine learning play a vital role.
New Scientific Publications
Our partners from TU Wien have published two new scientific papers:
-The occurence and persistence of PFAS at riverbank filtration sites in the Upper Danube basin
