The aim of the project is to use the research capacities built in the Czech Republic in the last decade with the support of the European Structural and Investment Funds and to build a cutting-edge research platform responding to the scientific and societal challenges of today’s Europe in the field of environment and health. Harmonising regional environmental and population studies, biobanks, laboratory capacities, databases and IT systems will increase their scientific value and transform them into sources of valuable data, samples, capacities and expertise.
