Environmental biotechnology applications in service of remediation of polluted ecosystems

Objectives: The grant aims to address the remediation of polluted ecosystems using bio-based and nature-based solutions in alignment with the zero pollution action plan and the European Climate Law. Projects are expected to engage multiple stakeholders, including public authorities, scientists, and operators, in ecosystem restoration. Funded initiatives should integrate bio-based solutions for remediating soil, sediment, and water pollution while enhancing ecosystem resilience against climate change and promoting greenhouse gas reduction. The scope includes managing pollution from hazardous substances and adapting to climate-induced events using innovative digital tools.
