- WG1 - Novel thermal treatments for waste
- WG2 - Bentonite homogenization

This year, the IGD-TP Executive Group has decided to review EC projects that were completed in 2014. These are PEBS, MoDeRn, First-Nucleides and REDUPP projects. The aim is to present the outcomes and assess the achievements of these projects. A review will be carried out by an expert in the area including an assessment of how the projects have helped to achieve the IGD-TP’s vision.
Furthermore, the three technical projects accepted by EC in the framework of the Horizon 2020, 2014-2015 Work programme i;e. Modern2020, CEBAMA and MIND will be presented
