2019 Bioremediation Symposium

April 15-18, 2019 | Baltimore, Maryland 

The Fifth International Symposium on Bioremediation and Sustainable Environmental Technologies will be held April 15-18, 2019, in Baltimore, Maryland, at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor.

The 2019 Call for Abstracts is now available.

Situated in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, the Hilton is conveniently located within a few minutes’ walk to Camden Yards, home of the Baltimore Orioles, M&T Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens, the Maryland Science Center, the National Aquarium, four historic ships, and many restaurants, museums, and shops. This beautiful city is full of historic significance and features a wide-variety of tours and attractions to choose from. Famous for its delectable seafood fare, specifically Maryland blue crab,  a visit to one of the local Chesapeake restaurants or  to one of the hundreds of other unique options is sure to satisfy even the die-hard foodie. Baltimore has a thriving pub-culture that is home to many artisan-crafted brews, with many local breweries offering daily tours .

The Bioremediation Symposium is a forum for sharing research results, practical experiences, and opportunities associated with advances in bioremediation and green and sustainable practices in remediation. The development, implementation, use, and results of advanced tools for assessment and monitoring, as well as the challenges of applying bioremediation at various types of complex sites, are also examined. Several sessions will focus on treatment technologies for emerging contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

The 2017 Bioremediation Symposium (Miami, May 2017) was attended by nearly 750 scientists, engineers, regulators, remediation site owners, and other environmental professionals, representing universities, government agencies, consultants, and R&D and service firms from over 25 countries.
