Periodic Reporting for period 3 - CETOCOEN Excellence (CETOCOEN Excellence)
Période du rapport: 2022-07-01 au 2023-12-31
The long-term strategic vision of the RECETOX Centre is to become the internationally visible Centre of Excellence in the Environmental Health Sciences. The newly developed capacities will contribute to unravelling the role of environmental factors in human health, aging and wellbeing and to the development of innovative approaches to the environmental and health protection and tools applicable in diagnostics, prevention, and mitigation of negative impacts.
The overall objective of the TEAMING project is to upgrade the RECETOX Centre and significantly enhance its capacities in the Key Areas of Changes including:
• Excellent Research
• Education and Training
• Research infrastructure
• Human Resources management
• Effective organization and management
• Innovation Management
• Financial Sustainability
• Communication and International Reputation
Teaming with the European leaders enhances a value of the past investments into the national research infrastructures, tops them up with an excellent expertise and makes them available to the international community. The project implementation allows for significant organizational and management changes enabling future operation of the RECETOX Centre according to the European standards. The enhanced scope and quality of the research will contribute to building the Environmental Health Science field not only in the Widening region but in the whole ERA.

The centre is dynamically developing and building its position within the Environmental and Health Sciences. The cooperation with advanced partners is bringing unique expertise and the centre is becoming important partner in joint research projects.
Main results include:
1. Establishment of the new research programme “Environmental Health” and several new research groups within this programme and also other programmes,
2. Definition and implementation of the role of junior PIs and the constitution of the RECETOX Training Network (RETRAIN) for junior researchers and PhD students.
3. Implementation of the newly accredited Bachelor, Master and PhD study programmes in “Environmental health Sciences” and “Computational Biology and Biomedicine”, acquiring new accreditations for associate and full professorships in Environmental Health Sciences, in RP2 new bachelor programme was divided into two specializations,
4. The EIRENE RI coordinated by RECETOX became part of the ESFRI Roadmap 2021 and RECETOX is one of the key players of the Exposome research in the EU,

The Teaming implementation has resulted in enhanced collaboration with the project partners, implemented bachelor, master and doctoral students in Environmental Health Sciences and definition of RETRAIN network aimed to develop future research leaders of RECETOX.
The project significantly contributed to the development of pan-European Research Infrastructure EIRENE being the enabler of the Exposome research in Europe and globaly.
Establishment of the Brno Living Lab as an important tool for translating science to policy and practice brought new opportunities for collaboration with the regional authorities and enhancing an impact of our research on the society and citizens.
