Newsletter.1-We Are HEROICs And How We Work

How we work

The HEROIC project structure was built to stimulate efficient bottom-up exchange of information and data between individual work packages so as to build a solid process to develop new approaches.

While the first work package (WP) in the project is dedicated to the general coordination and management of the project, WP2 and WP3 will address the issues of current risk assessment practices and, respectively, their data gaps and needs and the exposure models used. Building on the information produced in these two WPs, WP4 will develop a proposal for a framework which would allow the development of integrated assessment strategies.

The tasks of WP5 and WP6 are mainly to communicate outside the project. WP5 will establish an internet platform that will facilitate the access to relevant toxicological data and information, with the aim of improving communication and collaboration in risk assessment as well as supporting capacity building for the professionals involved in human and environmental risk assessment. Disseminating the results and raising awareness about the results and resources of the project is the task of WP6.
