Closing events of EUSDR water quality priority area related INTERREG DTP projects: the DTP-TidyUp and DTP-Danube Hazards m3c

December 7, 2022in 2022 2 Likes

Two important water quality related DTP projects officially ends in December 2022 and organised its final conference in November 2022.

The TidyUp project

 

The Tid(y)Up project implemented between 2020 and 2022 with the involvement of 7 countries is located in the catchment area of the Danube and the Tisza rivers. The lead partner of the project was the Filmjungle.eu Association.

The TidyUp project main focus was to gather solutions for the increasing problem of the river-waste –  mainly plastic waste – causing significant problem along the Tisza River and some specific sections of the Danube River.

“The bulk of the aquatic plastic (and other waste) reaches the oceans through the rivers: the problematics of garbage patches floating on distant oceans is creeping closer and closer to landlocked countries, calling for collective and comprehensive solutions. A complex problem requires a complex solution: harmonized actions, standard measurements, modern waste management, awareness-raising and prevention are needed.”

The final conference was organised on 8-9 November 2022 in Budapest and Kisköre, Hungary. In the frame of the first day the Hungarian EUSDR National coordinator, Dr. Viktor Oroszi summarized international trends and researches in the topic,” while Ádám Kovács technical expert on behalf of the ICPDR pointed out that the project had filled a void, and highlighted its key research findings, which are useful information when preparing international catchment area management plans” – as the press release also highlights.

The participants of the final conference also visited the Flex (Floating Exhibition) in Kisköre on the second day, which exhibition was constructed on a refurbished ferry, using solely recycled and reused material over the past months.
