Summary
From contaminated soil to living soil: How can we ensure the
transition?
From 23 to 25 March 2027, the 26th INTERSOL Conference will bring together all
stakeholders in the contaminated sites and soils sector in Paris for France’s
leading event dedicated to soils.
Against a backdrop of changing regulations, technological advances and the
challenges of the ecological transition, INTERSOL has established itself as the
essential forum for sharing knowledge, exchanging experiences and developing
the solutions of tomorrow.
This year’s event will centre on the overarching theme ‘From contaminated soil
to living soil: how can we ensure the transition?’, divided into six main
sessions:
• Regulatory and standardisation developments
• Feedback on the use of digital tools and artificial intelligence
• Soil safety for human health and the environment
• Diagnostic and treatment techniques (soil, water, sludge and sediments)
• Soil restoration and the circular economy
• Innovation: session for young researchers / entrepreneurs / start-ups / PhD
students
A round-table discussion, organised and moderated by the Water, Environment and
Soil Cluster, Axelera and the Institute for Land Transition, will also enrich
the discussions on the sector’s major current and future challenges.
Over the course of three days, INTERSOL will offer a unique opportunity to meet
the experts, project owners, engineering consultancies, contractors,
manufacturers, researchers, institutional representatives and decision-makers
who are shaping developments in the sector. Conferences, case studies, debates
and networking sessions will enable everyone to expand their professional
network, share best practice and discover the innovations that will set the
standards of tomorrow.
