Project description
Innovative training against water pollution
Water pollution is a significant challenge, necessitating the emergence of a new generation of innovators in urban water system management. The MSCA-funded IN2AQUAS project will train 15 PhD candidates who will address the environmental impact of pollution and develop effective treatments to produce safe and clean water, even in extreme conditions. The project will employ environmentally friendly approaches and prioritise high-quality research, training, management and innovation. The programme provides training with a strong focus on sustainable management systems, water reuse, nutrient recovery and the synthesis of environmentally friendly materials. The overarching goals include assessing water quality, predicting environmental responses, restoring water quality with minimal waste discharge, and streamlining processing and integration.
Objective
IN2AQUAS will train 15 doctoral candidates (DCs) for facing the complex challenge of envisaging the pollutant impact on the environment and of tailoring the proper treatments for the production of safe and clean water -also in extreme environments- using green approaches through high quality research, training, management and innovation. This goal will be attained via a structured training-through-research programme, consisting of original individual research projects and education on technical and transferable skills. Experts from 10-degree awarding universities, 4 national research centers, 1 associated university, 4 companies and a highly qualified mindfulness-in-the-workplace facilitator will join forces to facilitate the successful training programme that will allow DCs to be awarded with a double doctoral degree in two different countries. These aims will be pursued by applying different actions, which include the study and development of innovative technologies against the water pollution, paying attention not only to the sustainability of the water management systems (in a circular economy vision), but also to the reuse of water, the recovery of nutrients and the green synthesis of functional materials. The developed technologies will be tailored to variegated scenarios with particular emphasis to three case studies: aquaculture, arid areas and (remote) cold areas. The overall research goals will imply three main steps: 1) the assessment of water quality and the prediction of its response toward the increased environmental stresses; 2) restore water quality while approaching the zero waste discharge and 3) scale up and process integration. The multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and intersectoral network will forge creative entrepreneurial and innovative scientists, who will be equipped with the skills, tools, insights and flexibility that enable them to be the next generation of Urban Water System management innovators.
