Projects

E³UDRES² Ent-r-e-novators aims to co-create a more specific joint research and innovation strategy. E³UDRES² Ent-r-e-novators includes, interacts and collaborates with a diverse variety of smart and ambitious people, academic institutions, regional authorities, companies, European research and innovation (R&I) networks and regional innovation ecosystems. E³UDRES² Ent-r-e-novators is committed to scientific excellence and research integrity within its cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral key R&I networks and promotes (future) R&I competences, skills, resources, methods, training, services and management for collaborative research and open innovation for smart and sustainable regions.

The simple monoaromatic hydrocarbons such as the carcinogenic benzene and toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes are among the most frequent groundwater contaminants in Hungary. The aim of the project is to reveal those microbes which are capable of degrading the aromatic contaminants in subsurface ecosystems even under microaerobic conditions.
