Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'It is estimated that around 20% of the burden of disease in industrialized countries can be attributed to environmental factors, and the magnitude of the problem is perceived by the majority of Europeans. The assessment of health impacts is based mostly on scarce exposure data and limited information on the relationship between exposure and health. There is, therefore, a need to strengthen research in this area and to develop methods and tools which will improve the comparability of data. Member States have developed skills and expertise using different mechanisms to fund environment and health research. The scientific boundaries created by the remits of different funding organisations have frequently acted as a disincentive to collaborative working. Although aims are towards relevance and efficiency, the results remain dispersed and not of actual support for policy-making. Therefore, results of the studies in ERA-ENVHEALTH will lead to the proposal of a coherent set of proposed priorities, implementation of joint activities, and common calls. ERA-ENVHEALTH, by bringing together 16 participants from 10 countries, will contribute to establish collaboration among the different funding organisations of environmental and public health research communities.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
European partners planning research in the environment and health (E&H) arena came together under the auspices of the EU-funded ERA-ENVHEALTH project. The aim was to create greater dynamism in E&H research by cultivating innovation in the field and increasing its visibility as a key area.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The ERA-ENVHEALTH consortium analysed the E&H research landscape, defined common priority areas and proposed joint activities and transnational calls for research projects to further collaboration between the environmental and public health research communities.
The initiative brought together major players from ten countries with the objectives of achieving critical and contributing to a more efficient use of resources and facilitating access to experts. Common approaches were used to promote better coordination for research implementation and better use of results to support policy development between Member States, encourage innovative thinking and provide a platform for sharing ideas.
Project partners developed a common framework for assessing research programmes, thereby providing a clearer view of E&H research activities within Europe. Key strategic issues were identified and 'horizon scanning' carried out to identify emerging issues and areas that could benefit from transnational research. This involved the examination of online sources such as newspapers, journals, and science, health and environment news sites for articles related to E&H.
A visual representation of the range of projects funded by national E&H programmes contained in the research database was developed to help identify clusters of similar or related activities. Joint funding potential was maximised for common strategic issues across Europe by the development of a multi-criteria analysis (MCA) tool. The analysis helped in the selection of E&H topics and improved transparency in the selection process. The main topics identified included indoor air quality, nanomaterials, toxicity of mixtures and low doses, and climate change. Two calls for transnational research projects were launched.
ERA-ENVHEALTH partners highlighted the value of enhancing European collaboration and the benefits and opportunities arising from the development of transnational cooperation and activities. The initiative has contributed to increasing the visibility of European research in the field of E&H, maximising research funding and helping ensure the development of coherent policies that extend beyond national borders.
