A workshop on ‘Exposome expectations in child health’ was held on 16th-20th October in Leiden, Netherlands. This was an intensive and interactive event for slightly over 20 people from multiple sectors of exposome research. Wide-ranging expertise was gathered! EIRENE partners took advantage of being involved in this transdisciplinary, important, and future-oriented work.
The exposome research on children’s health is a complex entity. Therefore, the attendees had a challenging task of figuring out, how multifactorial and transdisciplinary approaches could be developed and used efficiently for policies and programmes on the field. How could the existing exposome research be used in the best way? What are the barriers and opportunities in the future?
The EIRENE representatives actively participated and introduced the concept of EIRENE Research infrastructure and the necessity of high-quality services to be provided. Both the Belgian and Czech EIRENE nodes were presented.
The EIRENE IMP project was officially launched during a two-day hybrid kick-off meeting held on 25–26 June 2026 at the Technology Centre Prague. The opening event brought together project partners, representatives of national nodes of the EIRENE RI research infrastructure, and project managers from the beneficiary and the European Commission.
