NYMPHE at BIOREMID 2026: Science, Implementation and European Collaboration

Mark your calendars! From June 23–26, 2026, Florence will host BIOREMID 2026 – the 4th International Meeting on New Strategies in Bioremediation and Restoration Processes. This landmark event brings together science and strategy, where innovation translates into concrete solutions for cleaner soils and waters. Join the NYMPHE project and the ALL4BIOREM Cluster during the dedicated workshop and become part of the European dialogue on advancing environmental innovation and sustainable remediation.

Why attend?

The BIOREMID 2026 brings together the international remediation community for a science-driven and practical exchange of ideas. Bringing together remediation scientists, industrial operators, and institutional bodies, the event blends science and strategy. 

A two-track program anchors the agenda, complemented by the workshop of the European Bioremediation Projects cluster, ALL4BIOREM, which highlights scientific results and technology implementation, showcases deliverables, and fosters cross-initiative partnerships among research institutions and stakeholders.

Scientific sections will be preceded by an introduction to the Soil Monitoring Law, with the presence of European Commissioners and representatives of IMPEL, the European Union Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law.

You’ll get to:

• Discover cutting-edge methods for restoring contaminated soils, groundwater, and seawater

• Explore innovative bio-tools for emerging contaminants, plastics, and biopolymers

• Learn how data-driven approaches support sustainable, risk-based environmental management

• Connect with European research initiatives

NYMPHE & ALL4BIOREM – join us at the workshop

Soil, seawater and groundwater pollution pose a severe risk to the environment, public health, and food security. The Alliance for Environmental Bioremediation – ALL4BIOREM – Cluster addresses the challenge of restoring contaminated soils and water by providing tools and methods and helping stakeholders develop targeted, effective strategies for sustainable and risk-based land management.

This effort contributes to the European Clean Industrial Deal and the Zero Pollution Strategy by reducing soil and water contamination and promoting sustainable land use.

During the cluster workshop, participants will:

• See scientific results and technology implementation in action

• Explore cross-initiative partnerships

• Discuss practical solutions for sustainable land and water management

BIOREMID 2026 - the topics of the edition:

• Beyond the Exposome: Mapping Pollution to Health

• Research Synergies: Nature-Based Meets Engineering for Legacy and Emerging Contaminants

• Stabilize, Immobilize, Restore: Tools for Metal Cleanup

• End-to-End at Real Scale: Integrated Environmental Interventions

• Bio-based Horizons: Novel Pathways for Aquifer Remediation

• Innovative Bio-tools for Emerging Contaminants

• Depolymerize to Detoxify: Bio-Tools for Plastic & Biopolymer Cleanup

• Predict, Deploy, Degrade: Data Driven Bio-Sustainability

• Turning Contaminated Seas and Sediments into Blue Assets
