Integrated Models for the Development and Assessment of High Impact Chemicals and Materials

Project description

AI methods for chemicals and materials impact assessment

Safe and sustainable-by-design (SSbD) chemicals and materials are essential for addressing modern societal challenges. However, inadequate stakeholder coordination, limited data access, and the lack of standardised methods have hindered the development of a comprehensive SSbD approach. The EU-funded INSIGHT project will establish an innovative framework for the mechanistic impact assessment of chemicals and materials. This framework will use a multi-layered approach that integrates data, models, and impact outcome pathway (IOP) graphs, providing user-friendly FAIR-data and computational tools. It aims to transform sustainability and safety assessments and make advanced AI methods accessible for SSbD. The project aligns with EU principles and the European Green Deal.

Objective

Safe and sustainable by design (SSbD) chemicals and materials are crucial to address the challenges of modern society. However, lack of stakeholders’ coordination, limited access to relevant data, and absence of standardised methods have thus far hampered the emergence of a comprehensive approach to SSbD. INSIGHT will overcome these challenges by developing an innovative framework for mechanistic impact assessment of chemicals/materials. The INSIGHT framework will consist of a multi-layered approach that integrates data, models, and impact outcome pathway (IOP) graphs. INSIGHT will also provide curated and user-friendly FAIR data and computational models/workflows. INSIGHT aims to foster a paradigm shift in the assessment of sustainability and safety of chemicals and materials, from a fragmented situation to a holistic and integrated approach. INSIGHT will provide decision maps as a part of its integrated framework to guide users through the decision-making process, aiding them in evaluating the social, economic, health and environmental impacts of chemicals/materials in a more efficient and comprehensive manner.
The INSIGHT project is fully aligned with the EU principles of safety and sustainability and the European Green Deal. INSIGHT will support the development of policies in the areas of neutrality, biodiversity protection, public health, and circular economy, thus aiding the development of a dynamic economy respecting planet Earth as a whole, avoiding harm to humans and the environment.
By democratising the use of cutting-edge AI methods to SSbD, INSIGHT will drive innovation towards a digital, circular, climate-neutral and sustainable economy. INSIGHT will help the industry to optimise development and production of chemicals/materials and derived products, support regulators and policymakers in informed decision-making towards safer and more sustainable society, and pave the way for a comprehensive approach to SSbD.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
