Objective
The remediation of sites contaminated by hazardous substances is a major environmental concern throughout the world. Bioremediation is a developing technology that uses micro-organisms to degrade contaminants into less toxic or non-toxic compounds. At a time when more traditional remediation technologies are proving to be slow and expensive, bioremediation has become a popular and attractive alternative.
The purpose of the two planned Euro-Conferences on Bioremediation is to bring together scientists, engineers and other environmental professionals from all over Europe to present their findings and discuss future trends and directions for the restoration of contaminated sites and marine environments. High-quality, original articles or invited scientific reviews will deal with laboratory experiments and/or field application of technologies for assessment and bioremediation of aquifer, soil, and marine environments contaminated with pollutants such as MTBE, PCBs/Dioxins, Pesticides/Herbicides, Explosives/nitroaromatics, PAHs and Perchlorates.
Particular technologies will include: Intrinsic bioremediation, Air sparging and related technologies, Bioslurping, Bioventing, Anaerobic and aerobic degradation, Phytoremediation, Bioreactors, Emerging and innovative technologies, Bioaugmentation, Biodegradation of recalcitrant and chlorinated solvents as well as the monitoring of bioremediation process performance.
Although both Euro-Conferences will cover recent advances in bioremediation, the focus / theme of each conference will be different. Bioremediation-1will take place in late summer of 2001 and will focus on the technologies for in-situ and on-side (ex-situ) remediation of contaminated soils, surface and groundwater bodies (including contaminated sediments and refinery sludges). Bioremediation-2 will take place in late summer of 2003 and focus on the biodegradation of chlorinated and other recalcitrant cornpounds

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
