Conference “PFAS in soil – forever pollution, forever concern?”
The conference will explore the following themes:
PFAS have been used for decades and the substances are still being emitted into the environment. These so-called ‘forever chemicals’ are ubiquitously found in the environment - with soils being a major sink and source, respectively.
Therefore, the focus of this event is on the extent of PFAS contamination of soils and groundwater. The aim of the conference is to deepen the understanding of the potential hazards for human health at contaminated sites and to discuss the challenges resulting from the (restricted) use of PFAS contaminated soils and groundwaters. Available solutions and management approaches from various countries and affected regions will be presented.
In addition to communicating the latest scientific findings, the aim is also to discuss important political steps at European level in order to reduce PFAS soil contamination or to develop management measures for PFAS-contaminated soils.

Achieving Zero Pollution of Persistent and Mobile substances: Removal through Technical Solutions
The EU Green Deal and the accompanying Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability Towards a Toxic-Free Environment present bold action points that reflect the challenge associated with persistent and mobile substances.
In October 2021, ZeroPM started its work towards enabling the ambitions of this strategy to become an on-the-ground reality.
Presentations and panel discussions will be held by leading experts in these fields from diverse sectors along with ZeroPM consortium members.

International Conference on Non-Target Screening (ICNTS 25) (Hybrid)
Building on the successful SWEMSA workshops in 2016 and 2019 and the ICNTS in 2021 and 2023, the series will continue in 2025, once again providing a platform for submitted talks and posters on advances in non-target screening.
The focus of ICNTS25 will be on “Non-Target Screening strategies on the way to robust and sustainable analytical and data handling workflows” and the recently started PINTS initiative (i.e. Pipelines in Non-Target Screening)
with an interdisciplinary view to overcome the barriers between different disciplines.
We are looking forward to lively discussion with experts in software engineering, NTS workflow developments in different analytical sectors.
