The European Bioremediation Conferences celebrate their 20th anniversary! The 8th European Bioremediation Conference (EBC-VIII) will take place in Chania, Crete from June 12 to 17, 2022 twenty one years later after the first one! Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was postpone from June 2021 to June 2022.
The European Bioremediation Conferences started in 2001 organized by TU-Crete. Since then, seven conferences managed to bring together scientists and engineers from all over the world to present their findings and exchange information on recent advances in environmental remediation technologies, especially focusing on bioremediation and phytoremediation of contaminated sites including the marine environment. In 2018 we were pleased to host in Chania the joint conference of the 7th European Bioremediation Conference (EBC-VII) and the 11th International Society for Environmental Biotechnology conference (ISEB 2018).
We are very pleased to invite you to join us at EBC-VIII, which is again co-organised by the Technical University of Crete and the University of Bologna and sponsored by the Environmental Biotechnology Section of EFB. The conference topics have been expanded to include new challenges, future trends, directions and most recent technological innovations for management and restoration of a wide range of contaminated sites and marine environments as well as on resource preservation through recycling and bio-based reclamation, towards to a circular economy.
Conference topics
- In-situ (bio)remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, reactive barriers
- Ex-situ bioremediation of contaminated soils, sludges and solid waste
- (Bio)remediation of sites contaminated with crude oil, petrochemicals and PAHs
- (Bio)remediation of sites contaminated with chlorinated and other recalcitrant compounds
- Phytoremediation technologies for decontamination of organic pollutants
- Constructed Wetlands for emerging compounds, pharmaceuticals & priority pollutants
- Biotransformation and removal of emerging compounds, pharmaceuticals and priority pollutants
- Phytoremediation and bioremediation technologies for removal of heavy metals
- Biomonitoring and bioremediation of contaminated sediments
- Marine Pollution: Technologies to combat marine oil spills, plastics and microplastics / Monitoring and Early Warning Systems / Biomarkers and biosensors
- Molecular biology applications to bioremediation
- Bioreactor technologies for ex-situ treatment, biological wastewater treatment
- Microalgae for wastewater treatment, biofuels and bioproducts
- Innovative approaches and tools for monitoring and bioremediation of emerging pollutants in soils, sediments and groundwater
- Waste biorefineries: Integrated (bio)chemical valorization (via biomolecules, fine-chemicals, biomaterials and bioenergy production) of agro-industrial byproducts, effluents, wastes and surplus
- Mathematical modelling of remediation processes and performance evaluation / ecological modelling
- Wastewater treatment, valorization, bioremediation, disinfection and reuse.
