(1) To understand and exploit natural attenuation in groundwater
and soil (demonstration, modelling, prediction, definition
of operating window). (2) To improve engineered in-situ bioremediation, interfacing
microbiology with engineering and hydrogeology; dealing with
heterogeneity, improved process control and optimisation.
(3) To translate the results of laboratory studies into the
field (scale-up). (4) To position bioremediation within a risk management framework
- bioavailability, risk-based end points and residue behaviour.
(5) To develop the ability to monitor in-situ microbial processes.
(6) To understand the constraints on in-situ microbial processes.
(7) To integrate bioremediation with other technologies.
(8) To quantify human health impacts of bioremediation and
develop surrogate testing. (9) To address socio-economic issues- perception of bioremediation
technologies and decision-support mechanisms.

Full Details

Objectives: To implement research and technological development
(RTD) programmes and demonstration programmes by promoting
cooperation with and between enterprises, research centres
and universities; to promote cooperation in the field of Community
RTD and demonstration with third countries and international
organizations; to disseminate and optimize the results of Community
RTD and demonstration activities; and to stimulate the training
and mobility of researchers in the Community.
