Remediate
REMEDIATE ETN was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) funded Innovative Training Network. The network was made up of 8 beneficiaries from five EU member states (the UK, Ireland, Germany, Denmark, and Italy) and 18 partner organisations, who provided innovative research and training for more cost effective and sustainable remediation of contaminated land.

Impact of Research
The REMEDIATE ETN strengthened and enhanced existing collaborations between the participating beneficiaries and partner organisations resulting in a cohesive and dynamic network. The output was a new generation of highly mobile, creative and innovative entrepreneurs with the skills sets necessary to address the technical, economic and social challenges facing the contaminated land sector in Europe, both now and in the future.
