Gender Equality in Academia - let’s continue the conversation!
Thank you to all who participated in the International Women’s Day Gender Equality in Academia panel. It was a vital conversation, carrying diverse perspectives from various academic luminaries in Sweden. We hope to continue the conversation and need your help in staying engaged! The Gender Equality in Academia Facebook page now has upwards of 800 members. Join today for the latest news in gender and academia. https://www.facebook.com/groups/980554622474685

Baltic Breakfast: Micropollutants in wastewater,
17 March 08:30 - 09:15
Welcome to a Baltic Breakfast webinar where researchers from Stockholm University, Polish Academy of Sciences and Finnish Environment Institute present new research on micropollutants in wastewater.
Date: 17 March, 2021, 8:30-9:15 (CET)
The webinar is broadcast at su.se/ostersjocentrum/balticbreakfast
No registration is needed.
Urban wastewater treatment plants are important collection points for many chemical contaminants, often called micropollutants, which are widespread in the aquatic environment. In the Chempact project, researchers around the Baltic Sea have collaborated to increase the knowledge about the release of micropollutants from urban wastewater treatment plants to the sea, and to understand the effects of micropollutants on marine life.
How large are the masses of micropollutants entering the Baltic Sea every year? How is this source of pollution dealt with in current legislation and what could be done to improve the situation? At Baltic Breakfast, 17 March, the researchers will present the results from the Chempact project and related research in the marine environment. This is highly relevant in the context of the likely upcoming revision of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive.
Welcome!
Speakers:
Emma Undeman, Associate Professor in Environmental Science, Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centre
Ksenia Pazdro, Professor and Head of Marine Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, Institute of Oceanology, Polish Academy of Sciences (IOPAN)
Matti Leppänen, Adjunct professor in ecotoxicology, Senior Research Scientist at Laboratory Centre Ecotoxicology and Risk Assessment, Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE)
