Dear All (apologies for cross-posting),

CL:AIRE is pleased to announce that it is organising the In Situ Remediation ’14 Conference in London on 2nd - 4th September 2014 at the impressive Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre. Two frenetic days of presentations and a third day of thematic workshops will make the conference an amazing place for the discussion on the latest scientific research, technical advances and innovations in the management, assessment and sustainable in situ remediation of contaminated land and groundwater.

During these two days leading scientists, researchers and environmental professionals working in the field will meet creating an unique atmosphere to exchange ideas, share experiences, gain exposure to the latest developments and network with experts from around the world.

The programme of keynote presentations, platform talks and posters will cover the following themes:

• Urban groundwater contamination and emerging contaminants – investigation, monitoring and  management
  
• Natural attenuation and engineered in situ bioremediation
  
• Fate and transport of contaminants in the vadose zone
  
• Novel methods for the assessment of in situ remediation processes and performance
  
• Permeable reactive barriers, in situ chemical oxidation, enhanced abiotic and thermal treatment technologies
  
• Sustainability assessments of in situ remediation technologies, including economic aspects and feasibility studies
  

If you are interested in the conference, all updated information is available online at our website http://theadvocateproject.eu/conference/main.html. Also,the call for abstracts and workshops proposals are now open until 3^rdMarch 2014 and the registration form will be open from the middle of February 2014.

Abstracts on scientific understanding of fundamental processes, performance evaluation, technology demonstration, practical implementation, laboratory, field and modelling studies and new approaches are particularly encouraged.
