Descripción del proyecto
CHRONIC aims at delivering a cohort of highly-skilled and informed future research leaders trained in understanding and
integrating, into risk-assessment practice, the long-term, low-dose chronic chemical exposure and their interactions with
other environmental stressors. CHRONIC research will support improved decision-making in risk assessment based on
uncertain and potentially conflicting information, and in the development of scientifically-based monitoring strategies. The
focus on low chronic exposure to contaminants in different environmental organisms (macrophytes, invertebrates,
vertebrates) and end-of-line systems (freshwater, sediment, soil) allow for a training that is broader than that achieved from
conventional narrower one-system concept generally included in PhD-programmes and in standard protection goals. Thus,
CHRONIC represents a paradigm shift in ERA methods and practices needed to deal with current and future contaminant
challenges. CHRONIC will include 13 PhD projects aimed at developing tools and approaches to identify relevant nonstandard
modes of toxicity for low chronic chemical exposure and integrate these with environmental stressors. CHRONIC
includes academic institutions, research centres, government institutions, SMEs, and an NGO all with extensive experience
in education and training and a high state-of-the-art scientific and technical expertise and infrastructure. The program will
therefore lay the basis for an integrated approach to environmental risk assessment that includes non-standard yet
ecologically relevant endpoints and low chronic exposure as key elements. CHRONIC include training-by-research, joint
courses covering technical, scientific, ethical, and transferable skills. Students will also engage actively in communication to
scientific and public communities and be enrolled in an ambitious intersectional networking exchange plan to increase
employability and provide a broad perspective to their future career plan.
