Organized by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic in collaboration with the Technology Centre Prague and the Research Council of Norway, SOILCON is a high-level conference dedicated to advancing cooperation across Europe in support of healthy soils, clean water, and resilient forests.

Held under the auspices of the Czech Minister for Science and Research and the Norwegian Ambassador in Prague, the event brings together leading European experts to explore mission-oriented policies, particularly the EU Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe.” The program features keynote speeches, panel discussions, project showcases, and matchmaking opportunities designed to foster collaboration and innovation.

Highlights include:

  • Insights from EU and national policymakers on soil transformation strategies
  • Presentations of cutting-edge projects like MetalRem (nanoremediation of contaminated soils)
  • Matchmaking sessions to “Find your SOILmate” for future research partnerships
  • Networking opportunities with stakeholders from across Europe

SOILCON is co-financed by the EEA and Norway Grants and the CZERA project, and supports the broader goal of achieving healthy soils across Europe by 2050.
