Block the date for NICOLE Spring 2016 workshop!
Conference date: June 15-17, 2016
Location: Vienna
The initial title the workshop was suggested as “failure and flaws & innovation”, it was suggested that failure has a negative appearance and it could indicate the responsible person who failed which that was not the case we would like to to discussion.
Presenters are called to present from remediation technology perspective, expectation of technologies, management, Re-development cases or legislation perspective – any topics which are related with managing a contaminated site. The aim is to share experiences and solutions when outcome of a project is not inline with expectation.
The call for abstract will be issued by the end of January with the confirmed title.
