CUSP Research Cluster

The AURORA project is a member of the CUSP, the European research cluster to understand the health impacts of micro- and nanoplastics. The projects are publicly funded under a call within the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program. Together these five projects make up the CUSP research cluster: AURORA, IMPTOX, Plastic Heal, PlasticsFatE, and POLYRISK.

Each project focuses on investigating different aspects of micro- and nanoplastics to better understand their impacts health. More information about the cluster and each of its five projects can be found on the CUSP website and on the individual project sites.
