1. Introduction

In the framework of WG4 activities, the NEREUS COST Action Summer School on advanced treatment technologies and contaminants of emerging concern took place on July 10-14, 2017 in Porto. The event was co-organised by NEREUS WG4 and the “European PhD School on Advanced Oxidation Processes” (AOPs School), in order to exploit the existing synergies between the two, with the support of Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM, Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto. The scientific program was finalized by the leaders of WG4 (Prof. Luigi Rizzo and Dr. Sixto Malato) with the support of NEREUS Chair (Dr. Despo Fatta Kassinos) and Prof. Adrian Silva and Dr. Vitor Vilar, members of the WG4 and local organizers.

2. Summer school objectives

The Summer School was an intensive five-day course that included: (i) a section specifically devoted to PhD students (“Floor to PhD Students”); (ii) a special session on “Contaminants of emerging concern and antibiotic resistance control in water/wastewater by AOPs”; (iii) lectures on complementary skills; (iv) a workshop on advanced treatments; and (v) a technical visit (Annex 1).

The participants were introduced to advanced treatment processes and technologies for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), including antibiotic resistant bacteria and resistance genes (ARB&ARGs), from urban wastewater. In particular, fundamentals of AOPs and their application to the remediation of different environmental matrices were addressed. Moreover, the participants had the chance to attend lectures on complementary skills including publication of research results (FEUP Library Team and prof. Gianluca Li Puma from Loughborough University, UK and Editor of Journal of Hazardous Materials (Elsevier)) preparation of fellowship proposals (“MSCA individual fellowships proposal preparation & writing "Hints & Tips" - The Evaluator's "Point of View" by Dr. Despo Fatta-Kassinos) and “How to manage your time during your research life?” By Suresh Pillai (from Institute of Technology Sligo, Ireland). The other objective to promote the skill of young researchers to explain and discuss their research activity before of an expert audience was achieved through the specific section (i), introduced in the previous paragraph, where they had the chance to introduce themselves and their work, through a short oral presentation (3 min) and/or a poster communication, as well as to meet experts from the School. 2

3. Trainers/lecturers

The topics of the Summer School were covered in 38 lectures/talks delivered by NEREUS members, AOPs School Scientific Committee members and international experts, according to the program in Annex 1.

4. Summer school announcement, applications and selection

On April 21st, 2017 the call for applications was released through the NEREUS COST Action social media channels, network, website and e-newsletter. The deadline for all applications was May 5th (Annex 2).

Applicants eligible to be reimbursed were those from all COST Countries and those from the approved Near Neighbour Countries Institutions (namely Jordan University of Science and Technology, Institute for Rural Engineering, Water and Forestry, Kiev National University of Construction and Architecture, G. Eliava Institute of Bacteriophage, Microbiology & Virology (IBMV)) (Annex 2). A selection was made by the Action Chair and Vice-Chair and the WG4 Leaders based on two main criteria: 1. Relevance of applicants’ studies and research experience to the topics of the Summer School program. 2. Balanced distribution of educational background (e.g. chemical engineering, environmental engineering, chemistry, etc.). 15 trainees received a grant and the remaining attended the Summer School by covering their own expenses.

Statistics concerning the selected applicants:

- 6 Male and 9 Female - 12 PhD candidates and 1 PhD holders - 11 Countries
