Objective
The objectives of the network are:
1. To provide a European forum for the dissemination and exchange of scientific and technological knowledge and ideas relating to all aspects of contaminated land arising from industrial activities.
2. To promote coordinated, multi-disciplinary, collaborative research that will enable European manufacturing and processing industry to identify, assess and manage contaminated sites more efficiently and cost effectively.
3. To inform relevant EU and Member State RTD Programme Planners of needs and priorities for future research and to improve the synergy and coordination of research being carried out in EU programmes and other initiatives at the European and Member State levels.
The network will be divided into four Working Groups, each addressing aspects of the subject:
WG1 Site Assessment and Characterisation
WG2 Contaminant Behaviour and Risk Assessment
WG3 Control Methods
WG4 Measurement & Monitoring
The Working Groups will be academy-led and coordinated by an industry-led Steering Group which will include
representatives of the EU Environment and Standards, Measurements & Testing RTD Programmes.
The network's objectives will be achieved through a series of structures trans-network scientific conferences,
workshops organized by the Working Group and a network newsletter. A Scientific Advisory Group will be
formed to represent consensus views on priorities for the future research to the Commission:
-the remediation of contaminated sites.
-the effect of contamination on the diversity of organisms that can degrade organohalogens.
-availability of new cultures for application in environmental cleanup processes
