NICOLE (Network for Contaminated Land in Europe)

NICOLE (Network for Contaminated Land in Europe) was set up in 1995 following an initiative from the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC).NICOLE is the principal forum where industry, service providers and academia cooperate to develop and influence the state of the art in contaminated land management in Europe. NICOLE was created to bring together problem holders and researchers throughout Europe who are interested in all aspects of contaminated land. It is open to public and private sector organisations. NICOLE was initiated as a Concerted Action within the European Commission’s Environment and Climate RTD Programme in 1996. It has been self-funding since February 1999.
