The project Heavy metal pollution following acid mine drainage and consequent risks for aquatic environments will be funded within the framework of Scientific & Technological Cooperation (S&T Cooperation).
To intensify cooperation and scientific exchange in heavy metal research in the environment and consequences of anthropogenic pollution for biota, the Austrian and South African partners will each receive a grant of EUR 10.000 over the span of two years for travelling expenses and living costs of eight scientists and young scientists.
