PHOENIX COST ACTION CA19123 -PROTECTION, RESILIENCE, REHABILITATION OF DAMAGED ENVIRONMENT

The January Phoenix conference in Rome was an excellent opportunity for all of us to meet face- to-face and also on- line to explore new opportunities for collaboration. Several researchers participated in presence and on-line with their talk and poster presentations. This abstract book aims at summarising all the presentations performed and the first year of the Project activities. Here we would like to briefly summarise the main aims of the project, and the different Working groups. In fact, the different posters and talks presented were divided with WGs. The main aim of the project is to connect people working in the framework of Bio-electrochemical systems (BESs) and their application for producing electricity from wastes or organic contaminants. BESs, and in particular Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are low environmental impact tools that exploit the biological activity of microorganisms naturally present in water and soils for pollutant reduction, recycling useful elements, synthesis of new products and production of electricity. The activities of PHOENIX are related to the characterization of BES technologies and their implementation as bio- remediator, bio-sensors, and bio-reactors connected to sustainable urban planning, educational and socio-economic aspects. The integration of bio-technologies in the urban context is a key priority for appropriate rational urban planning and minimum environmental impact. Different skills are connected in this pan- European project, from electrical engineering, microbial ecology, Educational and socio-economics aspects.
