Environmental science and monitoring
Within this Platform the focus is the development of novel analytical approaches, methodologies, and capability to address cutting edge environmental issues and challenges, which require urgent attention to ensure a world where we have sustainable development of society. The projects are enabling end-users with the very latest hyphenated technology solutions, and simultaneously, in partnership with the manufacturing organisations, pushing the analytical boundaries of current hyphenated technology.
