The Water Institute recently had the pleasure of hosting Elvia Rufo Jiménez an early-stage researcher from PRORISK – part of the European Training Network.
Elvia’s research with PRORISK focuses on evaluating the socio-economic impacts of chemical substances on ecosystem services provision and natural capital. Her study aims to further develop socio-economic evaluation methods for environmental risk assessment, quantifying the economic damages of chemicals to different stakeholders across time and space.
