Aug 5, 2026 | 0 comments

The FIC-Fighters project has reached a major milestone: the halfway point of its journey towards developing sustainable solutions for phosphogypsum valorisation and environmental regeneration.

In our latest Summer 2026 newsletter, we look back at the progress achieved so far and share the key developments shaping the next phase of the project. Following the recent Consortium Meeting in Zagreb, FIC-Fighters partners reviewed the advances made across all work packages and prepared the way for the upcoming demonstration and implementation activities.

This edition highlights important milestones, including continued progress on the project’s technical solutions, the upcoming completion of the NaOH pilot plant engineering design, and new steps forward in stakeholder collaboration across Europe. It also features updates on the first FIC-Fighters Policy Brief, the expansion of the PEPE Portal, ongoing Citizen Dialogue activities and the project’s contribution to the CIRCNET Cluster.

Explore the Summer 2026 newsletter to discover the latest achievements, upcoming events and opportunities to engage with the FIC-Fighters community.
