Dissemination event for the completion of the project

The scientific results, the findings of the experiments and studies carried out, the possibilities for future commercial exploitation of the applied technology, as well as the interconnection with other, nature-based, innovative technologies for integrated water and wastewater management, were presented to representatives of involved bodies and interested parties, during an informative event held on Thursday, July 10, 2025, on the occasion of the completion of the research project and organized by EYDAP, at the Center for Health Technology Research Applications.

The event began with the initial statements of the executives of the Strategy and Innovation Department of EYDAP, who referred to the overall innovation strategy, introduction and diffusion of new technologies in the Company, the mission and activity of R&D, as well as the role of EYDAP in this specific project.

This was followed by the scientific presentations of the representatives of the academic institutions that participated as partners in the project, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, the University of Ioannina and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, while subsequently, EYDAP research team presented the pilot studies of wastewater treatment using metal-organic frameworks that were carried out during the project at KEREFYT, as well as the market analysis, with a view to the possibility of commercial exploitation of the technology that was developed.

The event concluded with an exchange of views on further exploration of the HEAVYMOFS project technology and the possibility of larger-scale applications, as well as its combined use with the innovative wastewater treatment technology based on natural processes (Nature Based Solutions), which is already being pilot implemented at Thriassio WWTP, within the framework of the RHEMEDiation research project.
