The Nymphe project (New system-driven bioremediation of polluted habitats and environment) focuses on developing innovative solutions for removing pollutants (such as microplastics and pesticides in agricultural soil, chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbon in groundwater and sediments in industrial areas) from contaminated sites in Europe. Advanced bioremediation techniques can also recover metals or other compounds for future reuse, and make previously degraded soil and water resources available for use once more.

This workshop will provide a neutral, evidence-based forum for dialogue between policymakers, regulators, scientists and innovation experts. It will explore how laboratory-trained bacteria can help restore polluted soils and waters, and how policy and regulatory frameworks can support circular outcomes while safeguarding public health and the environment.

This event will take place in English at 14:00-18:00 CET on 3 February. It will be in person, at the CSIC Brussels Office. Registration.
