The online meeting will happen Wednesday 2nd June 2021 organised in partnership between ESPP (European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform), the Biorefine Cluster and ETA Renewable Energies Florence.
This meeting will bring together the major EU-funded R&D projects currently developing, analysing and piloting nutrient recycling and nutrient management (Horizon2020, Interreg, LIFE) as well as regional, national or company funded projects. The objectives are to enable exchange of experience and discuss future nutrient research perspectives with industry, stakeholders and the European Commission.
The online event is accompanied by a full update of European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform’s inventory of nutrient-related R&D projects (available here – version online somewhat out of date, update is underway) and will lead to a summary document (presenting projects and institutes participating) published as a SCOPE Newsletter (60 000 emailing list worldwide, 11 – 14% identified opening rate, plus online publication) with a summary of meeting conclusions and recommendations.
NextGen will participate in this this event presenting an overview of the phosphorus (nutrient) recovery technologies taking place in the project.
