MAR2PROTECT collaboration with cluster projects HORIZON-CL6-2022-ZEROPOLLUTION

by | Dec 19, 2022 | News

MAR2PROTECT started a collaboration with cluster projects HORIZON-CL6-2022-ZEROPOLLUTION which seeks to halt and prevent pollution by focusing on:

  • Removing pollution from fresh and marine waters, soils, air, including from nitrogen and phosphorus emissions;
  • Substituting harmful chemicals;
  • Improving the environmental sustainability and circularity of bio-based systems; and 
  • Reducing environmental impacts of and pollution in food systems.  

Water Europe will play a coordinating role in setting a proposal for an action plan for the cluster.

The first meeting will be held on the 9th of March 2023 from 9:30 to 12:00.

The agenda for the first cluster meeting and the proposal for the action plan are still being developed but we will keep you posted in the future!

We also want to thank the REA and all of the participant projects:

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

MAR2PROTECT at Aqua Fórum 2022

This last 2nd of December, the MAR2PROTECT project appeared in the Aqua Fórum 2022 by the hand of the project coordinator Ana B. Pereiro from NOVA.

Here, she talked about what the project is all about and the steps it will follow to accomplish great results in the future of its life term.

This initiative is organized by the Intermunicipal Community of Alto Tâmega e Barroso in partnership with AquaValor and aims to enhance the resource “Water” as an aggregator element of the territory, in its four fundamental dimensions – Thermalism, Agriculture, Tourism and Energy, as a distinctive/identitary value, aggregator and potentiator of economic growth of the region.

MAR2PROTECT – which was launched last December 1st- will provide a holistic approach to prevent groundwater contamination from climate change impacts, through different innovative technologies. 

Additionally, ‘Kick off Meeting’ will be held next 12th-13th December at the FEUGA base in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. This meeting will take place to explore future steps during this project’s four-year life term.

MAR2PROTECT Demosites

MAR2PROTECT Demosites

by | Oct 11, 2022 | Demosite 1, Demosite 2, Demosite 3, Demosite 4, Demosite 5, Demosite 6, Demosite 7, News

To ensure a high replication potential, M-AI-R Decision Support System will collect information from 7 demo sites in 4 European countries (Portugal, Italy, Spain, Netherlands) and 2 in non-European countries (Tunisia, South Africa).

These demo sites were selected to be the representative of a wide panorama in terms of climatic conditions, type of groundwater pollution, water sources used for Managed Aquifer Recharge, political/societal context, and to maximize the potential replication of the MAR2PROTECT holistic approach and impact. All demo sites include a coastal aquifer affected by salinity intrusion. Demo sites were carefully chosen by their degree of maturity from previous successful projects developed by the partners.

The list of demo sites includes: Katwijk, Tunisia, Frielas, Emilia-Romagna, Cape Flats, Marbella and Lima River Estuary

You can learn all things related to the demo site on their specific pages in our section for Demo Sites on our web.
