The CATAD3D project participates in the the AquaticPollutants Thematic Annual Programming (TAP) Action. This TAP has the role of the third ERA-NET Cofund AquaticPollutants call (second additional call). It relies on the establishment of a network or cluster of excellence of national projects focussed on specific RDI needs from new or already started national calls in order to partner them, creating a critical mass of research and technological excellence, and ensuring the integration and sharing of knowledge. The theme of this TAP Action is: Measuring of Inputs and Taking Actions to Reduce contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), Pathogens and Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria in the Aquatic Ecosystems (inland and marine). The working title of this TAP Action is RedCoPollutants.
The members of the TAP Action cluster are: Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), T. G. Masaryk Water Research Institute (czechoslovakia), University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (czechoslovakia), CEDRE (France), INRAE, UR RiverLy, Villeurbanne (France), LIEC (Lorraine University, CNRS) (France), National University of Ireland Galway (Ireland), Universidad Complutense -Catalysis and Unit Operations Group (CyPS) (Spain), Lund University, Faculty of Science, Department of Chemistry (Sweden), Linköping University (Sweden), Karolinska Institutet (Sweden).
Researchers from Costa Rica, Mexico, Chile, Portugal, kazakhstan and Argentina will carry out research stays in our group in 2023 and 2024.
