Innovative Training Network on PER and polyfluorinated alkyl substances towards the Future Of Research and its Communication in Europe 3

Description du projet

DEENESFRITPL

Une formation pour aider les chercheurs à comprendre l’exposition aux PFAS

Les substances per et polyfluoroalkylées (PFAS) sont toxiques. Ces produits chimiques anthropiques sont omniprésents dans notre quotidien (aliments, boîtes à pizza, emballages de «malbouffe», ainsi que dans les produits ménagers et les boissons. Il est également prouvé que les PFAS peuvent avoir des effets nocifs sur la santé humaine. Le projet PERFORCE3, financé par l’UE, va assurer la formation de 15 chercheurs en début de carrière afin de mieux comprendre les voies d’exposition aux PFAS. Les chercheurs s’engageront dans des projets de recherche individuels, personnalisés mais interconnectés, qui combinent une formation dans les secteurs universitaire et non universitaire afin de disposer d’un bagage complet de qualifications transférables. Les résultats du projet mettront à profit la compréhension actuelle des PFAS pour améliorer les évaluations des risques environnementaux et humains.

Objectif

The PERFORCE3 European Training Network (ETN) is a multi-partner joint doctoral student research training network with the overall aims of educating 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) and improving the understanding of, and eliminating the risks associated with, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). PFASs comprise more than 4700 substances and are of high global concern due to poorly defined risks to the environment and human health. PERFORCE3 brings together world leaders in a range of disciplines (physical, synthetic, environmental and analytical chemistry, pharmacokinetics, epidemiology, toxicology, remediation science and chemical policy) with state-of-the-art technologies, to provide high quality training and research environments. ESRs will undertake individual, personalized, yet interlinked research projects, which combine training in both academic and nonacademic sectors in order to provide them with a comprehensive set of transferable skills. To meet the aims of the network, PERFORCE3 uses a supra-disciplinary approach outlined in seven work packages (WPs). Each ESR will gain deep-learning through their individual research projects within the areas of analytical tools and exposure science (WP1), toxicology and epidemiology (WP2), as well as green chemistry, remediation and policy in a WP focusing on solutions to PFAS contamination problems (WP3). As well as the in-depth knowledge gained in their own research areas, ESRs will benefit greatly from the orthogonal and complementary training opportunities within the ETN. All ESRs will gain training in translation of research results for regulatory and/or stakeholder uses (WP4) and theoretical training in their respective disciplines (WP5). Management and communication for the network will be facilitated through WPs 6 and 7. The results of PERFORCE3 will greatly improve the understanding of a globally ubiquitous contaminant class, leading to improved environmental and human health risk assessments.
