The focus was on sustainable remediation of mining sites and critical raw material recovery. The event brought together SURRI colleagues from across Europe and young researchers from our partner universities.

What did it include?

• 5 days of lectures, discussions, and excursions
• 2 field trips to DIAMO pilot sites in Stráž pod Ralskem and Kutná Hora
• Hands-on lab workshops on electrokinetics, bioremediation, nanotechnologies, and groundwater flow modelling

Participants presented research in:

• Microbial remediation
• Electrochemical methods
• Element recovery using laser technologies
• Use of waste materials to produce nanocatalysts

The Summer School was a great opportunity to connect with project partners from the University of Southampton, University of Granada, La Sapienza Rome, and more.

Thank you all for joining us in Liberec!
