Remediation and rehabilitation – Local “rust belts” and brownfield investments

Date: 29-30 November 2022 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
Event venue: H-1083 Budapest, Ludovika tér 2., National University of Public Service

Patron of the conference: Deputy State Secretary for the Environment at the Ministry of Technology and Industry.

Every two years, The Hungarian Association of Environmental Enterprises organizes a professional conference to present the results and challenges of field remediation, to share the latest research and development results, professional experience and to explore funding sources available in the next period.
This international conference will take place in this year on 29-30 November, in Budapest. 

The participants of this two-day conference can learn about the global trends of remediation and the frameworks and developments of different national programmes. 

We will present a guide on how to deal with environmental problems in the winding-up of failing businesses, commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture, earlier this year.

We will present also the most up-to-date technological solutions on the field of pollutant measuring and sampling, remediation techniques and provide an opportunity to introduce the results of surveying the environmental and health-related risks of the abandoned, polluted industrial areas and the results of sustainable rehabilitation: https://kszgysz.hu/en/re-brown-2022

Beside the eminent representatives of science, professional organizations, experts and enterprises engaged in the exploration and construction works on contaminated sites, the companies, state actors, official and legislative specialists dealing with such sites will present modern methods of decontamination and subsequent rehabilitation of damaged, contaminated sites.

In addition to presenting international and national R&D results and good examples, we will also visit a current brownfield action area to see what needs to be done for its rehabilitation.
