The BIOSYSMO consortium gathered from the Month 42 General Assembly, held on the 10-12 February 2026 at LEITAT´s facilities in Barcelona and Terrasa. The meeting took place with approximately 6 months remaining until project completion, representing a critical moment to review progress and define the final roadmap.

BIOSYSMO is a Horizon Europe-funded project bringing together partners to optimise bioremediation solutions for soils, sediments and water contaminated with complex mixtures of pollutants. The Assembly focused on reviewing its progress during the demonstration and validation phase, with particular attention to the transfer of bioremediation solutions towards field implementation and real environmental conditions.

IDENER.AI, represented by Sara Gil and Lila Otero, participated as Project Coordinator, supporting the technical, strategic and administrative management of the consortium, as well as leading data integration and predictive modelling activities. During the event, IDENER.AI was able to come across subjects such as project progress, upcoming activities, final reporting, and the alignment of partner contributions for the last project phase.

During the two-day meeting, partners presented updates across all major technical workstreams, including microbial and fungal-based remediation strategies, biodiversity monitoring, omics analyses, and environmental assessment methodologies. A key focus was the integration of experimental and environmental data into predictive models, which are playing an increasingly important role in evaluating remediation efficiency, ecosystem response and the transferability of BIOSYSMO solutions across different contaminated scenarios. Partners also had the opportunity to visit LEITAT´s laboratories, where they reviewed first-hand the progress of the BES-based pilot activities and gained deeper insight into the operational principles of the bio electrochemical systems being developed and tested as part of the project.

To close the meeting, the consortium coordinated the preparation of final deliverables, partner contributions, and data collection ahead of the final review period. The General Assembly proved to be a key moment for the project, reinforcing collaboration across the consortium and setting up a clear roadmap for the successful completion of BIOSYSMO and the long-term transferability of its results.
