Join our Monthly Networking Days!
We invite professionals working in soil remediation, industrial land-use planning, or the management of mining and industrial by-products like phosphogypsum to join our new Monthly Networking Days, an interactive event format to support collaboration and knowledge sharing on phosphogypsum (PG) valorisation and sustainable waste management.
What are the Monthly Networking Days?
The Monthly Networking Days are an extension of our FIC-Fighters Community of Practice (CoP), hosted on LinkedIn. These short, focused online events are designed to:
- Facilitate peer learning through thematic discussions on the challenges and opportunities of PG valorisation.
- Showcase project results from pilot sites and demonstrate real-world applications.
- Encourage cross-sector engagement through case studies, open dialogue, and expert insights.
- Support policy integration and sustainable practices for long-term impact.
When and where?
- Frequency: Every third Thursday of the month (unless Thursday is a public holiday in our partners’ countries)
- Time: 09:30–10:00 CET
- Platform: Zoom (registration link will be provided via email and CoP group)
- Break months: No sessions will be held in July, August, and December to accommodate summer and winter holidays

💡 Topic: Social Impact Assessment by Teresa González-Gómez, Senior Lecturer (Faculty of Social Work, University of Huelva)
The methodologies for Socio-Environmental Impact Assessments are focused on the production of optimal solutions for the PG management and its consequences in all of its dimensions. The University of Huelva will develop the social impact assessment following the next steps:
1) Context assessment: social environment of the case studies’ location, process to be evaluated;
2) Detail the valorisation process thoroughly;
3) Identification and qualification of social actors who are affected, linked, or interested in the project, their perceptions, valuations and interests, and how they see the project and how they interrelate;
4) List and prioritisation of risks and impacts: what real or “socially-built” (interpreted) changes are produced by the project for each of the actors and impacts hierarchy based on criteria;
5) Strategic management proposals and design of scenarios.
Join us for the next session and become an active part of the FIC-Fighters Community of Practice!
