Descrizione del progetto
Promuovere lo sviluppo economico nei settori ambientali, alimentari e sanitari in Tunisia
I settori ambientali, alimentari e sanitari svolgono un ruolo importante nello sviluppo dell’economia e della legislazione europea e tunisina. Partendo da questo presupposto, il progetto TUNTWIN, finanziato dall’UE, mira a stimolare l’eccellenza nella ricerca e il trasferimento delle conoscenze in materia di spettrometria di massa e di tecniche sincrotoniche applicate a questi settori. Il suo focus saranno gli agenti inquinanti organici, la speciazione degli elementi, gli isotopi leggeri e non tradizionali, le nanoparticelle e la tracciabilità, l’autenticità e la sicurezza degli alimenti. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo il progetto istituirà un ambiente di cooperazione transnazionale e svilupperà un quadro sostenibile per il rafforzamento delle capacità di ricerca, la gestione della ricerca, la creazione di reti internazionali, la finanza e l’amministrazione. Questo impegno sarà cruciale per un ulteriore sviluppo economico dei settori ambientali, alimentari e sanitari in Tunisia.
Obiettivo
TUNTWIN will strengthen research excellence and knowledge transfer of INRAP regarding mass spectrometry, and synchrotron techniques applied to environment, food and health sectors with a special attention to organic contaminants, element speciation, light and non-traditional isotopes, nanoparticles and food traceability, authenticity and safety. These sectors are of high economic benefit and relevance for the development of both EU and Tunisian economy and legislation. To accomplish this, TUNTWIN will create an environment to transnational cooperation and develop a sustainable framework of research capacity building, research management, finance and administration, international networking to enhance the sustainable expertise of Tunisian scientists and stakeholders. As a result, TUNTWIN will foster the economic development of Tunisian economy in the sectors of environment, food and health. Strengthening of INRAP’s staff will be developed by EU partners of established scientific excellence in target topics, through 6 case studies, with proven record of experience. TUNTWIN is structured into 5 work packages for 36 months, including: coordination; capacity building (through trainings, mobilities program, organization of summer schools, exploratory workshops, open days and stakeholders-oriented events); definition of new research avenues and approaches; networking and governmental support; and communication through awareness raising and knowledge co-creation. As a result of proposed strategic priorities and actions by INRAP, a series of 4 targeted aims have been defined to determine the impact of TUNTIWN on the increase research excellence and critical mass; support institutional networking and reputation increase; develop a knowledge transference network; and improve the analytical service quality in Tunisia. Such aims will be monitored through >25 KPI supporting the establishment of a short-, medium- and long-term sustainability strategy for INRAP.
