What is "mettrans"

MetTrans (“Metal Transport in the Environment”) is a four-year Marie Curie Initial Training Network of leading European research groups in both academic and industrial institutions, which addresses outstanding issues in the migration of metals in the environment.

The Network provides young scientists with high quality personalised training in both research and complementary skills. There are 13 research work plans in the MetTrans network: each includes a single research project led by a PhD student (early-stage researcher - ESR) or by a post-doctoral fellow (experienced researcher - ER).

MetTrans is a €3.5 million project funded by the European Union under the Seventh Framework Programme. The project started on February 1, 2012, and will run until January 31, 2016.
