The Park partnership
The Parc partnership (Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals) is coordinated by ANSES. It started on May 1, 2022 and brings together 200 partners from 28 European countries. Lasting seven years, it aims to advance research, share knowledge and improve skills in chemical risk assessment.
The Spidvac project
The Spidvac project (Improved control of priority animal diseases: Novel vaccines and companion diagnostic tests for African horse sickness, peste des petits ruminants and foot-and-mouth disease) is led by the German Friedrich Loeffler Institute and co-coordinated by the Handles. It started on July 1, 2022 for three and a half years. Its objective is to create and improve vaccines once morest three animal diseases which are likely to arrive soon in Europe and represent a major threat to livestock farming. These are African horse sickness, which affects horses, foot-and-mouth disease, which affects ruminants and peste des petits ruminants, which infects sheep and goats. The project brings together 13 partners.
The Broilernet project
The Broilernet project (Practice and Science Broiler Production Innovation Network) aims to create a network of researchers and players in the broiler sector in order to improve farming practices. The project has three main areas: the environment, animal welfare and animal health. ANSES will mainly be involved in the section on animal welfare. The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences coordinates this project, which brings together 25 partners. It was launched on September 27, 2022 for a duration of four years.
The Holifood project
The Holifood research program (Holistic approach for tackling food systems risks in a changing global environment) brings together 17 partners, including ANSES. It is coordinated by the University of Wageningen (Netherlands), for a period of four years. The objective is to improve the analysis of food safety risks, whether chemical or microbiological, emerging or existing. The project will take into account the environment in which food is produced. The economic, societal and environmental aspects, with the issues of climate change and sustainable development will also be integrated. It is planned to develop new detection methods, as well as a platform for sharing data and knowledge, involving authorities, producers and citizens.
The Isidore project
The purpose of the program Isidore (Integrated Services for Infectious Disease Outbreak Research) is to pool research infrastructures between European organisations. The aim is to provide members of the program with facilities, experimental models and state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, allowing them to study infectious diseases and future emerging pathogens likely to cause epidemics. The project brings together 154 partners for three years. ANSES participates as a member of the European network VetBioNet, on animal health research. The Agency will provide in vitro and in vivo models and diagnostic tools.
