The learning and scientific activity of the Environmental Sanitary Engineering Research Group in the University of Brescia, mainly based on experimental studies, and which produced publications and appreciated attendance at Italian and abroad scientific conferences, concerns the technological, process and management aspects in the following areas:
- treatment of water for human consumption;
- treatment of urban wastewater;
- treatment of industrial wastewater and aqueous waste;
- recovery and disposal of urban and special waste, and sewage sludge;
- circular economy and industrial symbiosis;
- remediation of contaminated sites.
Within the group, the following activities are noted: the Working Group on "Management of wastewater treatment plants", which sees the collaboration of more than 150 experts; the Research Center “Appropriate technologies for environmental management in countries with limited resources (CeTAmb), and the Research Center "Environmental remediation and recovery of degraded areas and contaminated sites" (CeRAR)

1st European award for best practice for the integration of SHD (Sustainable Human Development) into technology and engineering education,
conferred by Global Dimension in Engineering Education (GDEE) is a EuropeAid Project, entitled “Cross-cutting development
education into technology studies which aims to stimulate the introduction of education for development in European
Universities. This project will impact positively on the attitudinal values and skills of students in relation to
sustainable human development (SHD). This is being dealt with by integrating SHD as a cross-cutting issue in
teaching activities through a two-fold strategy. Its first objective is to improve the competences of academics to
enable them to introduce SHD into the curricula and facilitating the engagement of both staff and students in
academic initiatives related to SHD.
