FHERITALE
@fheritale
The FHERITALE project seeks to provide the European research community with a comprehensive overview of technologies and services relevant to understanding the impact of artificial materials on health, food and the environment.
New FHERITALE project deliverable released – Thematic Cluster Definition! This deliverable defines thematic clusters by building on the D6.1 gap analysis, technology needs assessment and stakeholder inputs, including the Brussels stakeholder meeting. Read more here: fheritale.eu/thematic-clu...
The FHERITALE stakeholder roundtable also identified six key enabling factors: the fundamental conditions required to strengthen scientific excellence, foster collaboration and accelerate the translation of research into policy and societal impact.
For each challenge identified during the FHERITALE stakeholder meeting roundtable, specific concerns were identified, as well as suggestions for how these challenges might be overcome:
Attendees identified the main limiting factors in the field as standardization of protocols, data interoperability, and validation/regulatory acceptance. Data integration and harmonisation emerged as the main drivers of progress in MNPs research.
The FHERITALE stakeholder meeting round-table featured several key outcomes:
The afternoon programme of the FHERITALE stakeholder meeting, moderated by Michele Suman, moved from problem identification towards solution-oriented discussions. Participants were assigned six different challenges:
The afternoon strategic discussions, moderated by Michele Suman, further strengthened this participatory approach through challenge-card roundtables involving Johanna Bischof, Jessica Catalano, Katherine Santizo, Dimosthenis Sarigiannis and Catherine Simoneau.
The FHERITALE stakeholder meeting also featured a highly interactive high-level round table. Through live polling and active audience participation, the discussion evolved into a dynamic exchange across scientific, technological, regulatory, and infrastructural perspectives.
The FHERITALE stakeholder meeting opened with an inspiring keynote lecture by Tanja Ćirković Veličković on the 'state-of-the-science' of Micro- and Nanoplastics Research.
On May 26th, Sciensano hosted the FHERITALE Stakeholder Meeting in Brussels, focused on strengthening cross-sector synergies among European Research Infrastructures addressing the impact of micro- and nanoplastics.
Tomorrow, @dr-ryan-ellison.bsky.social of @instruct-eric.bsky.social will be representing the FHERITALE consortium at the Mnp6 Microplastics conference in Birmingham! We will also have a poster presentation. Please come and speak to Ryan with any questions you may have!

A great group today at the FHERITALE Stakeholder Meeting! Thank you to everyone for rich and informative discussions, and thank you to hosts @sciensano.be and organisers @cerm-cirmmp.bsky.social
Our panel discussion session today, highlighting the main gaps and barriers facing micro and nanoplastic research
We are almost ready to kick off the FHERITALE Stakeholder Meeting today in Brussels, outlining the vision and strategic landscape for RIs in micro and nanoplastic research!
We look forward to welcoming all of our attendees to the FHERITALE stakeholder meeting next week in Brussels on 26 May! This meeting will together research infrastructures, policy, and industry to discuss the impact of micro- and nanoplastics on health, food, and the environment.
We are hosting a Stakeholder meeting in Brussels on 26 May! This will bring together research infrastructures, policymakers and industry partners to discuss the impact of micro- and nano-plastics on food, health, and the environment! Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
On #WorldHealthDay, we want to highlight the potential impact of micro and nanoplastics on human health via inflammation, oxidative stress, and the delivery of toxic chemicals or pathogens. For a comprehensive overview, see our Strategic technology and service needs: zenodo.org/records/1938...
The FHERITALE consortium is inviting stakeholders from across the research landscape to join us in Brussels on 26 May. We would love to hear from researchers, industry partners and policymakers! For more information please see the attached flyer or visit our website: fheritale.eu/stakeholder-...
It was great to attend the 2026 Agilent Environmental and Food Meeting today. There was a great range of talks from industry and academics alike about the detection and effects of contaminants on our food, health and wider ecosystems!
Our second talk today comes from Carlos Cordeiro of @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social, outlining their work utilising mass spectrometry for marine pollutant monitoring. Find out more about FC-Ulisboa here - instruct-eric.org/content/inst...
Our first speaker today is Didier Stein of @sorbonne-universite.fr and @embrc.eu, outlining their research on marine pollutants such as micro and nano plastics. Find out more and join the webinar here - fheritale.eu/webinar-3
Join us today for the third FHERITALE webinar: Untargeted approaches to marine pollutant monitoring! Today will feature talks from Didier Stein of @sorbonne-universite.fr and @embrc.eu, as well as Carlos Cordeiro of @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social Join us here - fheritale.eu/webinar-3
Join us at 11:00 tomorrow for the third FHERITALE webinar, where we will hear expert perspectives on untargeted approaches to detecting and characterising the impacts of chemical pollutants on marine ecosystems. There's still time to register here: tinyurl.com/3fbr2xnc
Great to be at the RICH Europe Symposium on Research Infrastructures this week, with Antonio Rosato of @cerm-cirmmp.bsky.social outlining @fheritale.bsky.social for Food, Health, and Environmental research! Find out more about FHERITALE here - fheritale.eu
