Information-Based Strategies
for Land Remediation
ISLANDR at a glance
The Information-based Strategies for Land Remediation, in short ISLANDR, is a
multidisciplinary project, which is aimed at supporting the execution of the EU mission: A
Soil Deal for Europe.
ISLANDR brings a dedicated focus to low input remediation through 7 test areas, including
sites impacted by the green transition, such as former mining areas. This will ensure that
soil remediation will be facilitated even when the cost of remediation is economically
marginal or may even be negative.
