CUSP - MNP Cluster | Plasticsfate

The European Research Cluster to Understand the Health Impacts of Micro- and Nanoplastics

PlasticsFatE is one of five projects that currently form CUSP: the European Research Cluster to Understand the Health Impacts of Micro and Nanoplastics. This is a collaborative cluster focusing on many different aspects of the potential health impacts of MNPs.

The five projects are working together to enhance impact by synergising communication and dissemination strategies, and sharing expertise, such as analytical methods, exposure assessments, inter-lab comparisons, representative materials and data exchange.

CUSP will also closely collaborate with the EC Joint Research Centre, and annual cluster meetings will be organized to report on joint activities within and beyond the cluster.
