The HBM4EU initiative was a European Joint Programme (EJP) that aimed to coordinate and advance human biomonitoring in Europe (2017-2022). The consortium comprised the European Environment Agency and 42 institutions from 30 European countries (24 Member States) and more than 70 Linked Third Parties (LTP). The programme was supported by the European Commission through a contribution up to 70% of the total eligible costs.
FCT developed its activities in HBM4EU as the Contact Point for the Portuguese National Hub on Human Biomonitoring that was established under the HBM4EU programme. As the National Hub Contact Point (NHCP), FCT coordinated the responses to the requests of the HBM4EU workpackage leaders, contributing to the respective activities. Together with the other national institutions composing the National Hub, FCT has been co-organizing the Workshops on Human Biomonitoring in Portugal.
