The European PathoCERT project, completed in February of 2024 and part of the Horizon 2020 research programme, has successfully strengthened the capabilities of first responders to react quickly and effectively to incidents involving waterborne pathogens. PathoCERT provides water utilities and emergency services with new technologies, enabling them to respond appropriately to contamination emergencies and mitigate public health risks. KWR led the research and development of some of these technologies in collaboration with partners across Europe.
