The call is divided into three different lots: Lot 1: Methods and systems for the identification of emerging food risks Lot 2: Integrated methodologies for the risk assessment of mycotoxin mixtures in food and feed Lot 3: Output-based methods for the assessment of the freedom of animal disease/infection
Objectives
The overall objective of Lot 1 is the establishment of a collaborative platform to support the current EFSA procedure for emerging risks identification. The platform should allow EU Member State authorities and EFSA to share knowledge, data and methods for the identification of emerging food-related risks in a rapid and effective manner. The main objective of Lot 2 is to develop integrated innovative methods for the risk assessment of mixtures, using mycotoxins as a case study for the development of a holistic approach, from synthesis in primary production to effects on human health, animal health and environment. It is foreseen that these methods will be applied in the future by risk assessors dealing with mycotoxin mixtures for the food and feed area. The main objective of Lot 3 is to develop a framework that could enable to evaluate, standardise and compare the outcomes of different control programmes for non-regulated diseases, with particular emphasis on the confidence of freedom at different level of aggregation (animal, herd, area, country, etc.)

Scope: Proposals should develop population-oriented primary prevention interventions to promote mental well-being of young people and assess them for their effectiveness. The interventions should build on but may go beyond existing state-of-the art knowledge on biological, psychological and social determinants of mental well-being such as societal, cultural, work life, lifestyle, epidemiological, economic and environmental perspectives. The proposals should aim at increasing resilience and mitigating the impact of biological, psychosocial and environmental risk factors. The target group should include young up to 25 years (or a subgroup there of), which is an age limit often used as many severe disorders start in this period. Differentials related to migration should be addressed when appropriate.

But given that Cyprus has been experiencing economic hardship and declining investment over a long period, it was granted a higher co-financing rate of 85% between 1 January 2014 and 30 June 2017."
