Over the last 10 years, NICOLE has carried out multiple projects and
organised a series of workshops, providing a discussion platform and a
sound technical basis for risk based management of contaminated land.
Reoccurring themes in the discussions on risk-based land management
are sustainability and cost-efficiency. NICOLE is interested in promoting
continuous development and improvement in these fields.
In 2010 the NICOLE Steering Group decided to launch a yearly
TECHNOLOGY AWARD. This award intends to stimulate people to bring
forward technical innovations that can contribute to an improved practice
for contaminated land management in line with the NICOLE ambition.
The topic of the award will change every year. For 2010, entries are invited
that focus on "Innovative site characterisation tools". The award is open to
individuals or groups of people. Entries from junior academics in
universities or consultancy are especially welcome. Entries will be judged
on innovation, potential contribution to cost savings, technical applicability
and plans for communication and market availability.
The jury consists of representatives from academics (Dr. Hans-Peter
Koschitzky), Industry (ISG chair, Dr. Anja Sinke) and Service Providers
(SPG chair, Laurent Bakker MSc).
The Year 2010 deadline is October 31st.
Prizes are:
1500 EURO FOR THE WINNING ENTRY
750 EURO FOR 2ND BEST
