Towards a common goal: capitalizing on the results of a scientific and practical cooperation

The Joint Steering Committee of the network created within the framework of the project NETMIN RORS-308 „Forming of network for enhancing environmental protection from pollutants of mining cross border areas” reunited on October 4th, 2022, in Bor (Serbia) evaluated the converging efforts to build upon the results obtained in the project and further the cooperation in the research linked to environmental topics. The second year after the completion of project implementation shows that the identified solutions of phytoremediation are recognized in the scientific community and have merit for practical applications. Partners agreed upon the strategy of disseminating the project results to relevant stakeholders in the mining areas, to raise awareness regarding the possibility to use phytoremediation in combating the negative effects of mining upon soil.
