Description
The RHE-MEDiation project aims to support long-term governance under the Mission Ocean and Waters to reduce chemical pollution in the Mediterranean Sea. It will test and validate a micro-algae-based remediation technology for removing heavy metals, pesticides, and PFAS from water and wastewater treatment systems. The project also integrates mobile and fixed sensing systems to detect and measure chemical pollutants in land and marine waters, with data fed into the EMODnet platform to contribute to the Digital Twin of the Ocean.
The project’s call for Associated Regions is open for submissions from 31 March 2025 to 31 May 2025. Up to 5 replication projects will be funded with up to EUR 100 000 per project. Successful applicants will also receive 9 months of technical assistance.
