DAY 1
OPEN SCIENCE SEMINAR
Thursday 16 April 2020
The seminar aims to share pragmatic approaches to tackle the pollution of aquatic ecosystems by microplastics from their monitoring and characterisation to the required actions for societal change.
A parallel objective is to create synergies between ongoing and upcoming large scale projects (especially European Commission and JPI Oceans projects).
