Join in to prevent pharmaceutical residuals in the Baltic Sea region
To kick-off the project "Closing gaps: Techniques and solutions for reducing pharmaceutical residuals in the Baltic Sea region", we welcome you to the first of three workshops held in Malmö, Sweden. The other two will be organised later in the autumn 2022 and in the spring 2023.
The workshop will be centred around the existing technical challenges and gaps between countries and sectors. The goal is to embrace the common opportunities of preventing and reducing pharmaceutical residuals in the Baltic Sea. Keep an eye on our calendar for agenda updates.
Do you have or know of a solution which could stop the residuals as early in the process as possible? We would love to share this with our network. Reach out to Caroline Charlier (
If YOU want to be part of this horizontal collaboration, share and compare techniques for the implementation of innovative solutions while expanding your own knowledge: do not hesitate to participate!
