Abstract
Phytoremediation and phytotechnologies exploit plants for decontamination of polluted environments. European scientists are engaged in innovative research on basic biological mechanisms and possible applications. Networking activity and education are very important for the progress of phytotechnologies. The paper illustrates some European initiatives for stimulating exchanges and innovation in the field of phytoremediation.
