Nymphe

Project funded under the Horizon Europe Program and dedicated to the bioremediation/revitalization of polluted environments. The challenge is to develop tailor-made bioremediation strategies, based on the assemblies of multiple biologics, in order to remove at least 90% of the pollutants present in the different EU-contaminated areas (e.g. plastics and pesticides in the agricultural soil, and chlorinated solvents/total petroleum hydrocarbon in groundwater and sediments of the industrial site) and to achieve the highest environmental quality standards to increase the level of biodiversity of these sites. The project brings together researchers and experts from 18 organizations coming from 12 different European countries, representing nine research institutes and universities, two non-governmental organizations, six small-medium enterprises and a large Italian company, Eni Rewind and coordinated by the University of Bologna.
