EMERTOX aims to map the actual situation in emergent marine toxins and the producing organisms, developing new approaches to assess their occurrence and predicting the possible future scenarios in the framework of global warming. The consortium, formed by a multidisciplinary team, will produce a joint research and innovation project that will exploit the complementary expertise of the participants and will create synergies among them.

The EMERTOX project is funded by the programme Stimulating innovation by means of cross-fertilisation of knowledge" of the Horizon 2020 Framework Research Programme.
