For the first time, researchers from the University of Luxembourg participated in the Lernfest organised on 1 September 2019 in Saarbrücken.
Organised by the Ministerium für Bildung und Kultur (Saarland), Bildungs Netz Saar and the city of Saarbrucken, Lernfest aimed to involve children and common citizen in multiple activities. Interreg Greater Region was particularly interested to make scientific results accessible to the public.
To this end, researchers from the Urban Wastewater Management Chair (Prof. Joachim Hansen) presented the funded project EmiSure with a concept, developed from a Master Student in Sustainable Development, enabling to communicate the environmental impact of pharmaceuticals on surface water bodies and the possibility to reduce the impact before damaging. On this occasion, around 120 kids were actively participating.
