The SYMBIOREM project (Symbiotic, circular bioremediation systems and biotechnology solutions for improved environmental, economic and social sustainability in pollution control) aims to use the bioremediation capabilities of microorganisms, microbiomes, proteins, plants and animals to remove pollutants from the environment. 

These pollutants include heavy metals, mineral oil, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Volatile Aromatic Hydrocarbons and their presence in our environment poses a serious threat to human health, causing multiple mental and physical diseases and premature deaths. Environmental pollution is also a major factor in the decline of biodiversity, reducing the ecosystems’ capacity to deliver services such as carbon sequestration and contaminant removal.

During this webinar, the SYMBIOREM project partners will outline how they tackled the pollution of different soil environments using recent advances in biotechnology. They will also provide insights into the route to upscale different bioremediation solutions.

This is the first of the SYMBIOREM webinar series, Strategies for a cleaner future, in which the partners will present the solutions and strategies developed by SYMBIOREM to remediate and restore contaminated soil and water, as well as to enhance bioremediation efficiency, use secondary inputs and valorise residues and contaminants.

This event will take place in English at 10:00 to 11:30 CEST on 1 April. Registration and programme.
