Scientists at the Joint Research Centre (JRC) carry out research in various fields to provide independent advice to EU policymakers and put science at the heart of European policies. Originally established under the Euratom Treaty, the JRC has longstanding expertise in the nuclear field, but offers scientific competences from a wide range of disciplines to support almost all EU policy areas.

We work closely with research and policy organisations in EU countries, European institutions and agencies, and scientific partners in Europe and worldwide. Our core strengths are anticipation – providing the scientific underpinning for future policy initiatives; integration – linking scientific and policy areas as no single area can provide answers to today’s complex challenges; and impact – assisting policymakers to track and assess the impact of their policies

The DailyBreath mobile app helps you to manage your risk of experiencing symptoms associated with environmental triggers. Because, ultimately, it’s about the Air YOU Breathe and YOUR Health. The benefits of the DailyBreath app include:

• Reduce and avoid symptoms by understanding the allergens, pollutants, and weather conditions that impact YOUR health.
• Track your symptoms as associated with environmental triggers to translate your experience of symptoms into your own personalized daily environmental health risk forecast, your DailyBreath Forecast with your own daily Perry (PEHRI) Score.
• Pinpoint where in your community you and other DailyBreath users are experiencing acute symptoms triggered due to allergen or pollutant exposures.
• Share your journey and experience of the air you breathe with others through community features; the DailyBreath Discussion Board.
• Reduce Impact by Implementing Allergen and Pollutant Reduction Interventions, solutions available via our affiliate partners.

The Barcelona Institute for Global Health, ISGlobal, is the fruit of an innovative alliance between the “la Caixa” Foundation, academic institutions and government bodies to contribute to the efforts undertaken by the international community to address the challenges in global health. 

ISGlobal is a consolidated hub of excellence in research that has grown out of work first started in the world of health care by the Hospital Clínic and the Parc de Salut MAR and in the academic sphere by the University of Barcelona and Pompeu Fabra University. Its working model is based on the generation of scientific knowledge through Research Programmes and Groups, and its translation through the areas of Education and Training and Analysis and Global Development.

Its ultimate goal is to help close the gaps in health disparities between and within different regions of the world.

The Human Cell Atlas is a global consortium that is mapping every cell type in the human body, creating a 3-dimensional Atlas of human cells to transform our understanding of biology and disease. The Atlas is likely to lead to major advances in the way illnesses are diagnosed and treated.

Global scientists are building the initial draft of the Human Cell Atlas, organized and championed by the 18 HCA Biological Networks, which include the lung, heart, liver, and immune system, as well as the four HCA Regional Networks: Asia, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

An open global initiative, the Human Cell Atlas Consortium was founded in 2016 and has grown to more than 3,900 HCA members, from over 1,700 institutes and more than 100 countries around the world.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was established in 1974 to improve the health and well-being of older adults through research. NIA conducts and supports genetic, biological, clinical, behavioral, social, and economic research on aging and the challenges and needs of older adults. NIA is at the forefront of scientific discovery about the nature of healthy aging to extend the healthy, active years of life. It is also the lead federal agency for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias research.

Created by the U.S. Congress in 1950, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) has occupied a central position in the world of neuroscience for nearly 75 years.

The mission of NINDS is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease for all people.

To accomplish this goal, the institute supports and performs basic, translational, and clinical research on the brain and nervous system; fosters the training and career development of investigators in the basic and clinical neurosciences; seeks better understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders; and disseminates scientific discoveries to the public, health professionals, researchers, and policymakers.

The International Human Exposome Network (IHEN) project aims to build a world-wide network to collaborate and improve human exposome research. The network will bring together researchers, policymakers, and independent experts to enhance the impact of future studies in this field.

https://humanexposome.net

The European Human Exposome Network launched in 2020 to study the impact of environmental exposures on human health and will run until 2025. The network addresses issues such as exposure to air quality, noise, chemicals and urbanisation, with each project tackling different elements of exposome research.

EHEN’s results will contribute to advancing the European Green Deal’s ambition to protect citizens’ health from pollution and environmental deterioration by providing new evidence for better preventative policies.
