INTERNATIONAL SURF GROUPS AND PARTNERS (www.claire.co.uk/surfinternational)
The chairs of the international Sustainable Remediation Forums (SURF) and associated partners meet on a quarterly basis mainly by teleconference with the aim to share progress and learning amongst the different networks and develop opportunities for collaboration. It is hoped that by communicating on a regular basis it will help raise the awareness of the work that each group is undertaking in their different countries and help drive consistency between the different initiatives where appropriate.
