7th RePhoR steering committee meeting in Bottrop and Essen.
On 7-8 May, the RePhoR Steering Committee meeting took place at the Emschergenossenschaft wastewater treatment plant in Bottrop and at the new Ruhrverband Ruhrhaus in Essen.
On the first day, the AMPHORE project team invited participants to visit the newly inaugurated AMPHORE demonstration plant in Bottrop, which was presented by Dr Dennis Blöhse of EGLV. On the second day, all participants met on the premises of the Ruhrverband, with the kind permission of the latter.
The Steering Committee is used for cross-project networking between the research projects and for discussing overarching issues. Among other things, cross-cutting themes will be defined, on which all interested collaborative projects will work together during the course of the funding programme, e.g. in workshops. In addition, joint activities are planned for the exploitation and practical implementation of project results and for public relations. The group consists of the coordinators of the collaborative projects, the networking project and experts, e.g. from industry, associations, authorities and ministries. Representatives of the BMBF and the project organiser also take part in the steering committee meetings, which take place up to every six months.
