Consortium coordination

The ETeCoS³ is a multidisciplinary and inter-sectorial consortium coordinated by the University of Cassino (Italy), composed of:

• 3 partner organizations: University of Cassino (Italy), University of Paris-Est (France), UNESCO-IHE (The Netherlands)
• 12 academic associated members
• 3 professional associations
• 1 SME associated member from 10 different countries, including three-third countries.

All members of the ETeCoS³ partnership are recognized internationally, with long-standing track records in research and higher education.

Key topics

The ETeCoS³ EMJD is focused around three key topics in environmental pollution:

• heavy metals
• recalcitrant organic pollutants
• contaminated solids.

The EMJD focuses on fundamental and applied aspects to treat and remove these pollutants as well as on the development of recovery and reuse technologies with market potential.
