Summary

This EU project deliverable describes the formation and activities of the CUSP cluster — a consortium of five Horizon 2020 research projects studying the health impacts of micro- and nanoplastics. The cluster coordinates shared methods, exposure assessments, and communication strategies across its member projects. It represents a key infrastructure for producing coherent, policy-relevant science on microplastic health risks across Europe.

The Micro- and Nanoplastics Cluster – now known as CUSP “The European Research Cluster to Understand the Health Impacts of Micro- and Nanoplastics” - has been formed to facilitate collaborations between five research projects funded under Horizon 2020, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, SC1-BHC-36-2020 - Micro- and nanoplastics in our environment: Understanding exposures and impacts on human health. These initiatives are working together to enhance impact by synergizing communication and dissemination strategies, and sharing expertise such as analytical methods, exposure assessments, inter-lab comparisons, representative materials, and data exchange. The cluster will also collaborate closely with the JRC, and annual cluster meetings will be organized to report on joint activities within and beyond the cluster. This document describes the Cluster Brochure development and production as a common deliverable of the five CUSP projects. The text has been extracted from D7.4 Common Communication and Dissemination Strategy for the Cluster
