Politehnica University Timisoara can join this project with a mobile laboratory which includes: the

car electrically equipped, with mechanical and pneumatic equipment to ensure optimal operation
analysis; multi parameter water quality analyzer; hydrocarbon analyzer for determining water and
soil; spectrophotometer for monitoring water quality; manual sampler for water sampling; soil
samples equipment; portable equipment for water content, electrical conductivity and soil
temperature monitoring; portable analyzer for photosynthesis monitoring; online analyzer
monitoring air quality; air quality monitoring portable analyzer; portable analyzer dust monitoring;
data acquisition and processing system. The mobile laboratory (test van) is approved for use on
public roads and equipped with analyzers for monitoring the quality of water, air and soil.

The equipment of this car includes a multiparameter sensor for measuring the parameters of surface
water and groundwater (temperature, pH, conductivity, redox, dissolved oxygen, NO3, chlorides,
NH3, NH4, chlorophyll, cyanobacteria and turbidity), cable control unit for storing, display and
transmission of data from the PC and accessories multiparameter probe calibration sensors.
Moreover, the mobile laboratory is equipped with an analyse kit able to perform measurements of:

Recently, Politehnica University Timisoara was involved in a series of projects financed through
Research Fund of Coal and Steel, EEA Financial Mechanism, COST etc. We can mention here the
following projects:

- Innovative sustainable land management practices for landscapes under climate change
threats
- Managing water hazards in a changing climate by implementing a spatial planning tool and
technical solutions
- Adapting to climate changes – solutions for south eastern Europe
- Waste management – Adaptation strategies to climate changes
