HERA EU Research Agenda

Introducing HERA EU Research Agenda Final Version

We are happy to share with you the final version of the EU Research Agenda developed by the HERA project consortium over last two years. It is a result of extensive reviews of current knowledge, policies and activities performed in the environment, health and climate change nexus in the EU. We carried out web-based surveys targeting research communities and stakeholder groups complemented by a series of online and face-to-face consultation meetings, involving hundreds of researchers and other stakeholders (see the acknowledgement page of the final version).

The final version of the EU Research Agenda identifies six major research goals in the environment, climate and health fields to be addressed and numerous specific recommendations for research topics. The implementation of and further investigation of the proposed research topics will make a positive change in policies promoting health and the environment. The document is complemented by a glossary to foster a uniform understanding of terms used in the Agenda.
