AMBER pilot study
In this pilot project, we're using citizen science to gather important information about Norwegian rivers and streams.
ENCORE - ENvironmental CO-exposure and Risk Estimation (Cefic-LRI ECO66)
ENCORE is led by Karel Viaene at ARCHE Consulting. The objective of ENCORE is to develop a probabilistic modelling framework for estimation of environmental risk of chemical mixtures in watersheds across Europe.
ETC BE AMR: Antimicrobial resistance in European surface waters
We need to improve our understanding of the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in surface waters, particularly downstream of urban waste water treatment plants. However, at present there is no European overview of the presence of AMR in surface waters. This project will develop a basic approach and methodology for a European scale AMR monitoring of surface waters.
