iMERMAID will develop and apply innovative solutions that prevent, monitor and remediate the Mediterranean against Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CoEC). The project will deploy and demonstrate the developed solutions in various use cases, providing the basis for their future scale up addressing chemical pollution from its source to its destination.

Through its open call, the project aims to engage with at least five ‘associated regions’ outside the iMERMAID consortium to demonstrate the feasibility, replicability, and scalability of these solutions in new areas. These associated regions will receive funding and technical advisory services to prepare roadmaps, plans, and projects aimed at preventing, eliminating, and remediating chemical pollution. The support will address potential barriers and showcase the feasibility of implementing iMERMAID’s innovative solutions.

They are looking for regional and local public authorities located in EU Member states and Associated regions. Applicants should propose use cases that address their specific challenges and objectives, aligning with the goals of iMERMAID, and demonstrating the feasibility, replicability, and scalability of the iMERMAID solutions.

In total, we will invest €400,000 in our Open Call #1 to fund and support 4 associated regions projects that will be part of our journey.
