As it nears its two-year milestone, the EU-funded iMERMAID project has released its third newsletter, offering a comprehensive overview of recent progress in its mission to combat chemical contamination in the Mediterranean Sea. This edition highlights key developments and events, reflecting the dedicated efforts of its 26-partner consortium.
Recent activities underscore the project’s advancements in technological innovation and dissemination. Updates include the successful installation and initial findings from its Italian Use Case focused on novel heavy metal solutions, alongside the presentation of an innovative PFOA sensor by project partner Zentrix Lab at a major industry conference. iMERMAID also marked World Water Day with the launch of its official animated project video, clearly outlining its goals.
Furthering its engagement with the wider community and strategic partners, the project actively participated in the EU Ocean Days in Brussels. The newsletter also celebrates the selection of winners for its first Open Call, fostering new innovative contributions. A significant development is the launch of the new Marine Shield Cluster, coordinated by iMERMAID, which unites several EU projects to amplify efforts against water pollution.
This collection of updates demonstrates iMERMAID’s ongoing commitment to developing cutting-edge solutions and fostering collaborations essential for safeguarding the Mediterranean marine environment.
