Description

The overall aim of the HERA project is to set the priorities for an environment, climate and health research agenda in the EU.

Research is expected to support decision-making at all levels and to help attaining the ultimate goals of protecting and improving ecosystem quality and human health.

Therefore, HERA partners and stakeholders will identify through holistic, systemic and inclusive approach both the environmental opportunities for health improvements, and the major environmental problems and challenges that need to be addressed urgently.

Key objectives are to:

  • Establish efficient communication and coordination with major stakeholders
  • Identify key sectors and policy areas in the field of environment and health
  • Develop a European medium-term research and innovation strategy and agenda
  • Respond to the new challenges in E&H, and contribute to the European E&H process and policy activities 
  • Disseminate outcomes from HERA to the scientific community, the public and the relevant stakeholders
  • Build the European Research Community on Environment Climate and Health
