#wetreat #water4all #wetlands #naturebasedsolutions #phytoremediation #micropollutants #universityofluxembourg #environmentalengineering #departmentengineeringunilu | WeTreat ProjectMeet the Team – Dr. Silvia Venditti Today, we introduce Dr. Silvia Venditti, Head of the ProWater Research Group at the University of Luxembourg and Luxembourg Principal Investigator for the WeTreat project. Dr. Venditti is a process engineer with over 15 years’ experience in the mitigation of micropollutants from various water streams. Her research focuses on integrating novel nature-based solutions into existing infrastructures, developing innovative pollution indicators, and advancing environmental risk assessment methodologies. Within the WeTreat project, in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research (WUR), she is responsible for evaluating the most effective plant species in a real-scale pilot constructed wetland. She also leads Work Package 5 (WP5), which aims to assess the environmental and economic performance of nature-based solutions as post-treatment steps for micropollutant removal and to disseminate project outcomes to stakeholders and policymakers. Something personal: As a true Italian, Silvia seeks creativity and enjoys painting, crafting and crochet.

#wetreat #water4all #water4allpartnership #constructedwetlands #naturebasedsolutions #phytoremediation #micropollutants #environmentalbiotechnology #plantscience #watertreatment | WeTreat Project🚀 Work is progressing across the WeTreat consortium! Despite some initial logistical challenges, the 🌱 plant material has now arrived at the partner institutions, allowing experimental activities to proceed. Partners in Portugal and Italy have initiated in vitro experiments and microcosm-based assays for plant selection and performance assessment. In parallel, partners in the Netherlands and Luxembourg have begun preparing their constructed wetlands, paving the way for upcoming pilot-scale studies. Together, these coordinated efforts mark an important step towards the integrated evaluation of plant-based solutions for micropollutant removal in wetland systems. 🔔 Stay connected with the WeTreat project: 🌐 Website: https://lnkd.in/eKwk9a6i 📘 Facebook: https://lnkd.in/e6rKH8Ee 📸 Instagram: https://lnkd.in/eBFJWrry #WeTreat #Water4All #Water4AllPartnership #ConstructedWetlands #NatureBasedSolutions #Phytoremediation #Micropollutants #EnvironmentalBiotechnology #PlantScience #WaterTreatment

#departmentengineeringunilu | Silvia VendittiWhat an incredible time in Montpellier! 🚀 We officially kicked off the Water4All 2023 projects under the theme "Aquatic Ecosystem Services"—and what a start it was! Water4All - Partnership. Thanks to the organisers for the great event and feedback!!! On behalf of our amazing coordinator, Maria Rodrigues (Centre of Marine Sciences of the Algarve), Thomas Wagner (Wageningen University) and I had the honor of representing our project WeTreat, which is all about optimising wetland-based solutions to boost the treatment of micropollutants from wastewater plant effluent. 🌿💧 WeTreat brings together a passionate, multidisciplinary, and intersectoral dream team of experts (Joachim Hansen, Antonella Castagna, Lorenzo Guglielminetti, University of Pisa), driven to make a real impact. Feeling proud to share this experience with my colleague Christophe Hissler from Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), as we mark the first two Water4All projects from Luxembourg. And this is just the beginning... stay tuned! 💥🌍 Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) University of Luxembourg #DepartmentEngineeringUniLu
