NEWSLETTER

A NORMAN Newsletter will be published on this website twice a year. As well as information on the goals and progress of the project, the newsletter will also report on the current situation and specific problems relating to emerging pollutants in Europe (e.g. in individual EU Member States, river basins, soil, air and drinking water sectors, etc.) and provide summaries of the latest related European research initiatives, environmental policy developments and EU-funded projects.

The proposal is to convert this newsletter into a Scientific Watch Bulletin as part of the activities of the future NORMAN network.

You are invited to join our if you wish to receive the newsletter automatically by email.


On this issue you will find:
  • Editorial by Igor LISKA, Secretariat of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River
