Risk management for contaminated sites project

The project aims to establish a strong research network with partners from Europe and Russia in order to help identify gaps and to supply the needed knowledge for improvement and development of regional strategy and a risk management system for oil contaminated marshes.

The core activities in the project are:
• Knowledge mapping and exchange
• Development of Research and Innovation strategy
• Networking and information
• Project management

The knowledge mapping will contain international, national and regional knowledge and experience with focus on risk assessment tools, remediation technologies and natural attenuation and monitoring. It will be nvestigated, to which extent existing methods can be used for the prerequisites of the contamination problems with the given pre-requisites in climate, geology etc. Results from European research work will be taken into account, e.g. EuroRisk, Eurodemo, European tools can be improved.

Based on the results of the knowledge mapping a research and innovation strategy will be developed, presented for a larger number of stakeholders and information will be spread to other oil contaminated regions. A research network with Russian and European participants will be established.
