CL:AIRE TRG Annual Report 2025 and new ECP CL:AIRE has now published the 2025 Technology and Research Group (TRG) Annual Report and it is available to download. The TRG is also pleased to welcome a new Early Career Professional (ECP) - Max Rooke from Landmark Information Group.
| SURRI publishes useful series of podcasts about preparing EU project proposals The European Project SURRI (Sustainable Remediation of Radionuclide Impacts on Land and Critical Materials Recovery) has published a series of podcasts to understand more about EU project proposal building. They share the differences about different funding calls, how to build consortia, proposal writing and the evaluation process. These resources are free to access and are available from the SURRI homepage. These resources are particularly pertinent as the EU Horizon calls have just opened and UK partners are eligible to participate. | | |

Publication of MCERTS performance standard for rapid measurement techniques for the chemical testing of soil On 27 April 2026, the Environment Agency published new guidance called MCERTS: performance standard for rapid measurement techniques for the chemical testing of soil. The guidance describes the certification process for rapid measurement techniques (RMTs) for the chemical testing of soil. Portable monitoring systems are field based analytical technologies used for the onsite chemical analysis of soil, which allow you to make real time decisions. The guidance applies to England and is available to download here. | | Contamination & Land Remediation Expo is coming to the NEC Birmingham on 16-17 September Part of the Environmental Services & Solutions Expo (ESS Expo), the Contamination & Land Remediation Expo (CLR Expo) will bring together 2,800+ professionals from across the contamination, remediation, and geoenvironmental sectors for two days of live content, product launches and cross-sector networking.
