JRC Open Access to Infrastructure - New call - EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing

Published on | 9 months ago

Programmes Health Joint Research Center

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission has launched a new call in the framework of JRC Open Access to its Research Infrastructures. This is the first call launched by the EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing. 

The Call offers access to the JRC in vitro High Throughput Testing (HTT) laboratory. This opportunity is available to users who wish to automate their in vitro methods to assess their transferability, reliability, and overall performance. By generating large datasets from bespoke compound libraries, this initiative supports the evaluation of a method’s relevance for specific applications and advances the implementation of non-animal approaches to toxicological testing for the regulatory safety assessment of chemicals.

The call deadline is 31 March 2025

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
