Description

EMBRACE is a research and Innovation project charged with developing a number of tools that will be designed to support the Knowledge Network and its users including:

A Biotoxin reference and knowledge hub and
A Biotoxin Task Force

Recognising the unique complexities of biotoxin crises, the project seeks to fill gaps in current protocols derived from broader Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) frameworks.

Over its 36-month duration, EMBRACE aims to revolutionise Europe's biotoxin incident response capabilities by integrating advanced scientific knowledge, innovative technologies, robust operational approaches, and a robust wide network of stakeholders.
