The activity of the Centre is closely linked with European research areas through networking, scientific exchange and twinning. The priorities embrace: 
targeting the potential of the Centre at activities connected with the 5th FP - and 6th FP; strengthening of existing ties based on twinning with units from EU 
countries (Germany, Sweden, UK, Greece), NAS (Bulgaria, Cyprus) and Ukraine; participation in the preparation of applications for EU research grants; promotion 
of modern methods of environmental monitoring and complex environmental risk assessment; education pertaining to the management of hazardous wastes in 
accordance with EU guidelines; introduction of environment management methods; encouraging young researchers from EU countries and NAS to accept research 
training at the centre in the field of biomonitoring, protection of the environment and nature conservation; creation of a market demand for expert opinions 
aimed at substantially reducing environmental impact. The project consists of 8 work packages: Biomonitoring - development and promotion of new non-invasive 
methods; Speciation analysis as modern tool for environmental risk assessment; Management of sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plant - new technologies; 
Landfill leakage - biological and chemical treatment technologies; Health risk connected with quality of food; Postgraduate studies and summer school; 
Promotion and dissemination; Coordination
