Funding: European Union
Duration: June 2004 - June 2005
Project description:
The objective of this project is to develop an integrated model to be applied in the field of renewable resources. The renewable resources shall be based on the organic matter that can be obtained in Vietnam and Thailand. A training module is to be jointly developed and the results from the studies are to be transferred to teaching.

Duration: June 2004 - June 2005
Project description:
The objective of the project is to support effective and efficient preventive and emergency response measures for petroleum spills in the coastal area of Vietnam. In the OIL SPILLS project, binding guidelines and instructions for decision-makers are to be developed on how to react in a damage-limiting manner in the event of mineral contamination along the Vietnamese coast. The specific ecological, technical, economic, socio-cultural and legal framework conditions are to be taken into account.
Within the technologies for decontamination of contaminated soils and beach sections, the main focus will be on the use of biological cleaning methods (bioremediation). Within the framework of a training course, the developed guidelines are to be communicated locally to employees of Vietnamese authorities and other institutions involved in the event of oil contamination.
