FHERITALE - Strategic technology and service needs

FHERITALE addresses the growing scientific, technological and societal challenges associated with artificial materials - such as micro- and nanoplastics, bioplastics, plastic additives and metallic particles - across food systems, human health and the environment. These challenges are inherently cross-domain and require coordinated access to advanced analytical services, interoperable data infrastructures and harmonised methodologies. Based on 815 scientific articles and outcomes from EU projects, we identified strategic technology and service needs by taking advantage of state-ofthe-art AI technologies. The approach automatically extracted and classified cited micro- and nanoplastic-related needs from documents covering priority domains such as environment, food, & health.
