RECETOX will present the NSGC e-SHAPE project

On 21 October 2020, RECETOX will present the e-Shape project at the National Secretariat GEO / Copernicus (NSGC) meeting, devoted to the so-called "maturity indicators." These are a set of indicators developed within e-Shape that show the degree of remote sensing implementation in the EU Member States. RECETOX, together with national experts whose nominations will be discussed by the NSGC, was entrusted with coordinating related activities on behalf of the Czech Republic.
 

The RECETOX will become member of GOS4M

A virtual Kick-off workshop for a GEO flagship on Mercury (GOS4M) to support the implementation of the Minamata Convention on Mercury formally established as a global consortium of research institutes, monitoring networks and research infrastructures providing a long term data and information on mercury in the environment. The meeting held on 7-8 October 2020 was a climax of two years long preparatory work since the GOS4M adoption by the GEO ministerial conference in 2018.

The RECETOX represented by its director, prof. Jana Klánová introduced a concept of the pan European research infrastructure network for evaluating environmental exposures, EIRENE that will support mercury information generation, sharing and use. The GOS4M is a global research community support to the implementation of the Minamata Convention on Mercury, global environmental agreement protecting the health and environment from mercury exposure.

More details on GOS4M are available here: www.gos4m.org
