Trainings on wet chemistry
Trainings on wet chemistry focus on the implementation of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) harmonized by GLOSOLAN and the technical manuals released by the network since its establishment in 2017. Training topics range from the preparation of the soil samples for analysis to health and safety, and the procurement, functioning and maintenance of laboratory equipment.
GLOSOLAN's top-experts on each topic will guide participants through the execution of each GLOSOLAN procedure with the support audio visual material where available. GLOSOLAN partners from the industry will be invited to answer participants questions on equipment functioning and maintenance.
Participants will have the chance to interact with the lecturers by asking questions and by reporting real case examples from their laboratory.

FAO and its Global Soil Partnership (GSP) supports academics, governments, and NGOs by providing knowledge and tools for identifying soil pollution, mitigating risks, and reducing contaminants. In collaboration with GLOSOLAN and INSOP experts, the GSP has developed comprehensive theoretical courses to strengthen capacities in soil pollution assessment, promoting sustainable agriculture in areas affected by mines and explosive remnants of war.
