🌊 ProCleanLakes hosts the 2nd #MissionLakes Webinar 🌍 We are delighted to invite you to the second event in the #MissionLakes Webinar Series — a Europe-wide initiative dedicated to exchanging best practices and pioneering solutions for lake restoration and protection. 📅 Date: Tuesday, 18 November 2025 🕐 Time: 12:30–14:30 CET 📍 Location: Online – free to attend 💡 Topic: Entrepreneurial Interest in Lake Protection and Restoration This event, hosted by the ProCleanLakes Project, is jointly organised with EUROLakes, FutureLakes, and the FERRO Project as part of the collaborative #MissionLakes initiative. Together, these projects work to strengthen the restoration and sustainable management of Europe’s lakes through shared knowledge, innovation, and cooperation. Building on this spirit of collaboration, ProCleanLakes leads the discussion by highlighting how nature-based solutions, digital monitoring, and circular-economy models can drive cleaner and more resilient freshwater ecosystems. The project’s integrated approach aims to inspire new partnerships and entrepreneurial opportunities that support the protection and restoration of European lakes. 🎤 Speakers: Alexandru Capatana (Dunărea de Jos University of Galați) and Wissal Ben Arfi (Paris School of Business) – ProCleanLakes Najla Kamergi – SEMIDE / FutureLakes Paul Chatterton – Landscape Finance Lab / EUROLakes 📌 Join us for an inspiring discussion exploring how entrepreneurship and innovative financing can support the protection and restoration of Europe’s lakes. 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/dQCMd-dM #ProCleanLakes #EUROLakes #FutureLakes #FERROProject #MissionLakes #MissionOcean #LakeRestoration #WaterInnovation #NatureRestoration #HorizonEurope #EnvironmentalCollaboration #WebinarSeries

About us
ProCleanLakes targets to combat the combined impact of various disruptive factors that generate continuous pressure on the lake's ecosystem status and facilitate the accumulation of emerging, non-regulated, chemical contaminants and nutrient enrichment. The project will design and demonstrate the feasibility of integrated nature-based emerging approaches for joint protection and restoration of European Natural Lakes (ENL) and their biodiversity, considering scenarios which imply the presence of various pressures that affect the aquatic ecosystems' status. The holistic transdisciplinary approaches that are to be used in the project, based on the synergic effect of the economic-environment-social nexus, targets to support the improvement of ENL ecological and chemical status in association with major EU instruments, sustainable development goals and policies related to freshwater ecosystems. The project engages multiple sites affected by the presence of various pressures and stressors, that will be the subjects for the demonstration of integrated protection and restoration solutions efficiency. A replication roadmap powered by the necessity of assuring upscaling and universality of the optimal integrated solutions (IS) will be developed to prove the replicability. An IS support platform which merges a business accelerator with an adaptive artificial intelligence (AI) solution for empowering citizen science related to lakes protection and restoration will assure the collaboration between the municipalities and citizens and will offer capacity-building and encourage co-development and co-design towards natural lakes protection and restoration. Tools such as mobile decision support platforms, serious games for digital readiness, elearning and augmented-based modules for reinforce-learning and multiple AI machine learning analytical frameworks will be developed to assure the synergic approach toward the maximization of integrated solutions impact and replicability.

Out for a stroll? Make it an #EUBeachCleanup! Cigarette butts are one of the most common items found littering our beaches & ocean. Contributing to marine pollution, they break down into microplastics, which get ingested by marine animals, leading to health problems and even death. Help us clean our ocean.

🌊 What a fantastic first #MissionLakes webinar! Yesterday, we brought together experts from across the four Mission Ocean sister projects — FutureLakes, ProCleanLakes project, FERRO Project, and EUROLakes — to share cutting-edge approaches to lake restoration in celebration of the upcoming #WorldLakesDay. From nature-based solutions to sediment dredging and the 4 Returns Framework, the insights were both inspiring and practical. Huge thanks to all our speakers (Laurence Carvalho, Laura Härkönen, Mara Nilca, Anca-Iulia Stoica, Martin Søndergaard and Anne-Marie Klamt) and participants for making this a great event. Let’s keep the momentum going as we work together to restore Europe’s lakes. 💧 #LakeRestoration #MissionOcean #FreshwaterInnovation #EUResearch #Collaboration #HorizonEurope #HEU #MissionOcean
