Ecosystem-based strategies for remediation of brownfield sites (2023-2024)

The project is a collaboration by the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb and the University of South-Eastern Norway. The main objective of this project is to strengthen cooperation between Croatian and Norwegian experts in the field of brownfield site remediation in the coastal area.

Project goals

The project aims to develop and share best practices in brownfield remediation with a particular focus on ecosystem solutions. This approach allows for the preservation of marine areas and the potential for green and sustainable tourism in revitalized areas. By involving local self-government in Croatia, the project aims to strengthen local authorities and improve their capacity to collaborate with professionals in order to reduce environmental, economic and social disparities in Europe.

Activities

The main goals of the project will be achieved through the activities of joint meetings, technical visits, capacity building workshops and short-term training, translation of national background documents, broadcasting of discussions between leading Croatian and Norwegian experts in the priority area of brownfield remediation and spreading public and local authority awareness through promotional tools and materials:

  • ANALYSIS AND SUMMARISING NATIONAL LEGISLATION, RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRACTICES
  • TECHNICAL VISIT TO THE FORMER INDUSTRIAL SITE IN NOTTODEN
  • TECHNICAL VISIT TO THE FORMER FERROALLOY FACTORY IN DUGI RAT
  • TECHNICAL VISIT TO THE COMPANY FOR PROCESSING OF CONTAMINATED SOIL NOAH (NORWAY)
  • SERVICE-LEARNING WORKSHOP FOR BROWNFIELD SITE REMEDIATION (DUGI RAT)
  • FINAL REPORT -BROWNFIELD REMEDIATION ROADMAP
