INL focuses on strategic research areas that deepen our understanding of fundamental phenomena, serving as the basis for developing innovative technologies.
Main activities and roles in AlchemiSSts
Technically, INL participates in the project with the Espiña - Water Quality group (https://www.inl.int/research-groups/espina-research-group/). This group performs and coordinates the experimental environmental hazard assessment of the materials and products developed by the project value chains, in WP6. INL also participates in other WPs, helping to establish the operational framework, providing new data for the data hub and ensuring the application of FAIR principles.
