EMERTOX is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) scheme to stimulate innovation by means of cross-fertilisation of knowledge in emergent marine toxins. EMERTOX aims at mapping 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 partnership, 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.
