ECESP Circular talks – Bioremediation as an effective tool for a clean environment

12 Sep 2023

Online

The SYMBIOREM project will feature at the webinar organised by the ECESP Leadership Group on Bioeconomy that will take place on 12 September 2023.

The theme of the webinar is Bioremediation as an effective tool for a clean environment. It will bring together an expert panel to discuss ways to clean up the environment using nature-based solutions and achieve zero-pollution.

Two representatives of SYMBIOREM will feature in a very stimulating program:

Dr. Tiziana Centofanti (ALCHEMIA NOVA) will participate to the session dedicated to different and innovative bioremediation techniques and will present about the bioremediation of polluted fresh water.

Dr. Leire Ruiz Rubio (University of the Basque Country) will be one of the four panelists to animate the final discussion together with representatives of other EU-funded projects, such as NYMPHE, MIBIREM, and BIOSYSMO.

This is meant to be highly interactive webinar. You can play an active part before and during the event by sharing your views and ask all your questions to speakers. Through the registration page you will be able to send your questions to experts in advance.
