• Severin Osten: "PET – An Open-Source Shiny Application for Scalable Quality Assurance and Exploration of Transnational River Basin Monitoring Data"
• Vincent Idel: "Fluorescence-based in situ measurement of cyanobacteria: state of the art, potential, limitations, compensation methods and further development of an optical sensor system"
• Matthias Zessner: “Coordinated strategy for the transnational control and management of trace contaminants in surface water bodies in the Danube River Basin under changing pressures, challenges and targets”

19th IWA World Conference on Anaerobic Digestion – Valencia, Spain: Link , opens an external URL in a new window

• Kara Kobsik: "Suitability Of Sludge Dewatering Effluent As A Liquid Medium In A Trickle-bed Reactor For Mesophilic Bio-Methanation"
• Vanessa Parravicini: also joining in Valencia – looking forward to great exchanges and inspiring discussions on site!

Proud of the team's breadth and depth — from river monitoring to anaerobic digestion!
