Our colleague Emma Léonea doctoral student in the first year of her thesis in the team EECAR at the UMR IMBE-IUT in Avignon was awarded the best oral communication at the conference of the Société Française d'Ecotoxicologie Fondamentale et Appliquée (SEFA) which took place in La Roche-Sur-Yon from 1 to 4 July 2025.
Her presentation focused on the very long-term effects of soil contamination following the burning of munitions in a protected natural area, the Crau plain in the Bouches-du-Rhône département. Half of her research is supported by the Sud-PACA region via the "Emplois Jeunes Doctorants" scheme and the company RSK-France. His work is also the fruit of collaboration between three UMRs, LCE , LPED ) and IMBE and should lead to the implementation of operations to rehabilitate and ecologically restore polluted sites.
Congratulations again to her on winning this award for her first oral presentation at a conference!
