The NIAGARA project is yielding its first results in the development of biosensors for emerging pollutants. In addition, the selection of immobilizing enzymes continues to be apace.
In the first year of the project implementation, SEMIDE produced the project’s stakeholder mapping and analysis. This defined stakeholder groups and categories in relation to the development of the project's 4 products, as well as the methodology for analysing and prioritising them.
The project's 11 international partners met in Prague on 21 November 2024 for the project's annual general meeting. Two days of particularly instructive exchanges enabled the partners to take stock of their progress and reflect together on how to move forward together. It was also an opportunity for SEMIDE to set up a workshop to identify the levels of interest and influence of the 22 stakeholder categories defined for the project and rate them in four groups. This work of stakeholder prioritization has been done for each product of the project to really highlight the differences between them. The results of this workshop will enable SEMIDE to define a stakeholder engagement strategy for the project for early 2025 and start drafting a policy brief on risk assessment of emerging pollutants.
