µMED 2022
We would like to wish our research partners at CNR and UPM all the very best this month as they participate in a number of sessions at µMED 2022! The International Conference on Microplastic Pollution in the Mediterranean Sea is a hybrid event that will be held from the 25th to the 28th September at the Partenope Congress Centre in Naples and online, and aims to identify new and effective solutions to mitigate the environmental issue of plastic pollution. Alongside the presentations by our consortium partners, Prof. Francesco Regoli (PI of RESPONSE) gave a talk as invited speaker, entitled “Towards a Risk-based Assessment of Microplastic Pollution in Marine Ecosystems’.
