Region Norr bjuder in till samarbete med LTU som håller Workshop NeTo-PFAS Interreg Aurora Project
Nätverket Renare Mark region Norr kommer i sammarbete med Lulea Tekniska Universitet att genomföra en workshop med arbetet kring PFAS. Det är framförallt Luleå Tekniska Universitet som genomför workshopen, men vill bjuda in medlemmar i Nätverket Renare Mark, då frågorna är aktuella för vårt nätverk. Evenemanget genomförs på engelska.
Beskrivning av dagen
The Interreg Aurora project NeTo-PFAS aims to develop a sustainable and cost-effective solution for treating PFAS-contaminated groundwater directly at contaminated sites. Building on previous research, the project brings together experts from Norway (University in Tromsö), Sweden (LTU), and Finland (Oulu University) to combine electrochemical, and biological approaches for PFAS degradation. The project may also lead to the discovery of new microorganisms capable of breaking down PFAS more effectively.
A key part of the project is stakeholder engagement. We warmly invite you to participate in a workshop where we will present the project’s achievements and provide an opportunity to exchange ideas, experiences, and knowledge on PFAS-related challenges and solutions.
Agenda:
Date: 27th of August
Venue: Luleå University of Technology, A-building, LKAB Hall
