MagNa participates in a workshop in Barcelona

The MagNa project took part in the PhD Training Workshop “Next-generation membrane technologies for sustainable exploitation of seawater brine resources: transition towards a circular blue industry”, held at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona from 18–20 March.

During the event, Tamara León Oviedo, Project Manager of MagNa, presented the project’s objectives and ongoing work to an audience of researchers, companies, and professionals from the water sector.

The three-day workshop combined technical sessions with site visits to desalination plants and wastewater treatment facilities in Barcelona. The programme provided a valuable platform to discuss key challenges and emerging solutions related to desalination, brine management and valorisation, and sustainable water treatment technologies.

MagNa is led by Cetaqua-Water Technology Centre in collaboration with AITASA, Veolia, and UPC, and is co-funded by the EU’s EIT RawMaterials programme. The project contributes to several European sustainability initiatives, including the EU Action Plan for Zero Pollution, the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability, and the European Green Deal.
