Bip CIVIS - H2O Pollution: holistic approach and nature based solutions
This transnational and transdisciplinary course will focus on two key sustainability challenges of today's societies, clean water and energy supply, and will bring together a European team of experts in ecology, microbiology, environmental chemistry, pollution assessment, environmental and health risk assessment, bioremediation, and waste-to-energy bioprocesses.
The course is framed by the European Commission’s Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, which sets out Europe’s zero pollution ambition, to better protect citizens, animals and the environment from harmful substances. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate a holistic understanding and approach to water pollution, and apply nature-based solutions to real-life problems.
The course will involve both virtual and face-to-face activities. Hands-on class will be central for the students’ training.
