This funding call focuses on investigating the effects of pollution on the development and progression of neurological, neurodegenerative, and neurodevelopmental diseases. The objectives include exploring causal links between pollutants and brain diseases, developing innovative models and methods for disease research, and generating evidence to inform policies aimed at reducing the health impacts of pollution. Proposals should adhere to the FAIR data principles, involve social sciences and humanities (SSH) expertise, and connect to European research infrastructures for environmental exposure assessment. Collaborative efforts, including joint activities and networking, are required to maximize the impact of the research. This initiative aims to support global and EU policies, protect citizens, and enable public authorities to develop evidence-based guidelines for preventing brain diseases linked to pollution.
