European Commission preparing to reinforce Green Deal research and innovation funding - have your say

The European Commission is preparing to reinforce Green Deal-related research and innovation with a dedicated call for proposals already under the current research and innovation programme - Horizon 2020. The land contamination management community may help to shape/refine the call by taking part in the surveys for the different areas of funding. If you are interested to know more and input your thoughts:

Areas of most potential interest could be:

Green Deal call area 8: a zero-pollution ambition for a toxic-free environment

Green Deal call area 3: industry for a clean and circular economy

Green Deal call area 7: restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services

Please note the deadline for giving online feedback for the call is 3 June 2020

SoBRA NAPL subgroup seeks industry assistance

SoBRA's NAPL subgroup is working on facilitating and clarifying dissemination of NAPL assessment guidance and as part of this work, SoBRA is preparing a LNAPL mobility tool. One of its functions is to predict the potential of various LNAPL to migrate in different aquifers. They are seeking data on typical wetting angles for LNAPL respective to different lithologies. If anyone is able to provide site specific values that have been measured, please contact Anna Hitchmough Further information about the subgroup is available here.
