Project Meetings

A total of 9 project meetings are foreseen.

15th Month Progress and Review meeting (9 – 10 March 202020)

Month 6 Progress Meeting (8 – 9 July 2019)

ELECTRA Kick-off Meeting (23-25 Jan. 2019)

Workshops

ELECTRA will organize several workshops. At the present time three technical workshops have been agreed and specified by the ELECTRA partners:

The first one will be organized by METFILTER in Madrid (Spain) towards the end of the first year of the project. The participants to this workshop will be acquainted to the fundamentals and applications of the BES and other biotechnologies developed within the ELECTRA project. This workshop will also include a tour to the electrified wetlands installation.
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the workshop has been postponed for Sept 2021 at the EU-ISMET meeting in Girona, Spain.
The second workshop will be organized in China towards the end of Year 3 of the project and will focus on on-site training on the developed technologies using the bioremediation systems built during R&D activities of WP4.
The final ELECTRA workshop will be organized by FHNW/UNIBO in the end of year 4 at the ECOMONDO environmental exhibition in Rimini (Italy).

Prior to the completion of the project, an investment workshop with investors and companies will take place in Shanghai at the Swiss consulate.

ELECTRA Goes to ECOMONDO (2022)

for the project’s final exhibition and workshop.

Join us live in Rimini

ELECTRA Goes to ECOMONDO (2021)

See our booth at ECOMONDO and participate in the ELECTROBIOREMEDIATION workshop on Friday Oct 29th, 14:00 to 16:30 (Ravezzi 1 Room, South Hall)

This workshop is organized by the ECOMONDO Scientific Technical Committee and ELECTRA project and it will highlight the capacity of bio-electrochemical processes to tackle water pollution, such as nitrate in drinking water resources, pharmaceutical residues in wastewater and chlorinated compounds in groundwater.
