Work package 5 of the HARPERS project aims to:

• identify the obstacles and issues that could hamper the implementation of advanced technologies in waste management and decommissioning,
• identify opportunities for more aligned practices, methodologies and approaches across Member States (MS), and
• investigate and conclude on the need and benefits of the adoption of and more aligned approach to advanced technologies, to enhance waste management and decommissioning operations in Europe.

This workshop is an opportunity for you to provide your views into the draft findings that we have made from the recent survey and other activities. We hope it will be a productive and interactive session to allow us to prepare the project deliverables ahead of their deadlines in the coming weeks.

We anticipate to spend at least 30 minutes on each sub task:

• Sub-task 5.2a: Standardising approaches to technology assessment and qualification for decontamination, environmental restoration, waste treatment and immobilization
• Sub-task 5.2b: Standardising protocols and systems to support adoption of robotics and automation in decommissioning, dismantling and waste management
• Sub-task 5.2c: Standardising digital twin and advanced Building Information Management (BIM) technology and their application
