PREDIS project has excelled in the progress through its course. All the deliverables and milestones during have been completed: 72 deliverables and 55 milestones. Significant advancements were made in all work packages. Almost 70 scientific papers were published or prepared for submission during the project. 170 other publications or presentations were given from the project. Active collaboration with partners, stakeholders and End User Group was led by the coordinator. In Strategic Implementation, the updated PREDISPOSAL Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) was published. Numerous mobility and training activities and input to EURAD Roadmap were finalised in the Knowledge management.
PREDIS organised 6 consortium meetings with active participation of all partners. The End User Group members and relevant stakeholders showed high engagement by participating to the workshops, stakeholder sessions and webinars.

- A selection of the most promising geopolymer and cementitious materials formulations was made and their stability and durability were tested.
- Non-destructive test methods were identified for monitoring and condition assessment technologies, useful to identify problematic waste packages at an early stage, and digital technologies were applied in developing of innovative data handling & decision framework technologies.
- LCA/LCC evaluation and value assessment on the economic, environmental & disposability impacts of novel treatments was performed.
