MAR2PROTECT and LIFE-4-FGASES participation at the European Researchers’ Night 2023

MAR2PROTECT and LIFE-4-FGASES participation at the European Researchers’ Night 2023

The European Researchers’ Night is an annual celebration of science and innovation, bringing together researchers, scientists, and the public to showcase cutting-edge projects that aim to address some of the most pressing global challenges. In September 29th 2023, at Nova university of lisbon, MAR2PROTECT and LIFE-4-FGASES will stand in the spotlight, shedding light on their groundbreaking efforts to combat climate change and mitigate human activities’ impact on groundwater contamination and greenhouse gas emissions.

MAR2PROTECT, the European project focused on sustainable groundwater management, and LIFE-4-FGASES, which concentrates on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, teamed up to present their innovative multi-level methodologies. These methodologies are designed to prevent the adverse effects of climate change and human activities on groundwater contamination while simultaneously working towards the reduction of greenhouse gases.

Both MAR2PROTECT and LIFE-4-FGASES will emphasize the importance of collaboration between researchers, institutions, and the public to tackle these global challenges effectively. By sharing their methodologies and insights at the European Researchers’ Night 2023, they hope to inspire others to join the cause and work together for a more sustainable and resilient planet.

MAR2PROTECT present at the COIL-9 2023!

MAR2PROTECT present at the COIL-9 2023!

Ana Pereiro (from NOVA FCT) was a speaker during the COIL-9 the 24th of April. She explained what the project MAR2PROTECT is all about and how to prevent contamination related to global and climate change. 

The COIL-9 (Congress On Ionic Liquids) is the main event in the broad field of ionic liquids and is being hosted in Lyon from the 24th to the 28th of April 2023.

The event aims to showcase the latest developments in ionic liquid and its related fields creating an interdisciplinary community concerned with materials and processes. 

Thank you Ana for this exciting session! 

MAR2PROTECT at Winter School 2024: Advancing Water Sustainability

MAR2PROTECT at Winter School 2024: Advancing Water Sustainability

This week, MAR2PROTECT was delighted to actively participate in the Winter School 2024, a premier event focused on addressing pressing water challenges and showcasing cutting-edge research and solutions in the water sector. The event, which welcomed 255 participants from 22 countries, highlighted a diverse range of expertise, including 77 poster presentations and discussions led by 53 invited speakers.

Our project made significant contributions to the discussions, particularly through these key topics:

🔹 Real-Time Monitoring:
Rogério Nunes Nogueira from the Instituto de Telecomunicações presented advancements in real-time monitoring technologies, emphasizing their transformative potential for detecting and managing water contaminants efficiently.

🔹 Adsorption Processes for the Removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern and Disinfection By-Products:
Dario Frascari from the University of Bologna shared insights into adsorption processes as innovative solutions for removing harmful pollutants and ensuring safer water quality.

🔹 Nature-Based Solutions – Natural and Constructed Wetlands to Remove Pollutants and Potentiate Water Reuse:
Marisa Almeida from the Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research in Portugal highlighted the role of wetlands in pollution removal and water reuse, aligning with MAR2PROTECT’s sustainability goals.

🔹 Digitalization in the Water Sector:
Susana Gonzalez Blanco from CETAQUA, Spain, showcased the development of a real-time virtual sensor for trihalomethanes in drinking water, a vital step in digitalizing water safety processes.

We are proud to have contributed to this remarkable exchange of ideas and strategies, furthering our mission to implement sustainable water management solutions. Together, we’re shaping a resilient water future! 💦✨

On the past 12th and 13th of December, MAR2PROTECT celebrated its Kick-Off Meeting in FEUGA HQs with partners participating in person and online.

It was a great opportunity to draw the lines the project will follow in the future.

This video summarises the fantastic 2 days that the partners had to exchange ideas and explain their work packages. Thank you all for this great journey!

In addition, we would like to leave you here a few pictures we took of these fantastic two days together
