The European Union funded FP7 UMBRELLA (2009-2012) CORDIS Project ID: 226870 aimed at using microorganisms to develop cost-efficient and sustainable measures for soil remediation at heavy metal contaminated sites throughout Europe. Research concerned the relation between microbiology, plant uptake and (hydro)geochemistry affecting heavy metal mobility in soil and water, providing a toolbox for envirobnental protection by improved phytoremediation.
