Background
The Project aims to develop an easy-to-use detection and alert system for emerging Marine toxins. The Alertox-Net project will utilise state-of-the-art toxicity detection systems and disseminate its results with all end users.
We are an International consortium of eleven research groups along Europe’s Atlantic Arc. This Alertox-Net project is funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area European Regional Development fund.
We aim to facilitate market delivery of safer marine food products by putting urgently needed innovative toxicity alert systems in the value chain.

A Project Roadmap Plan was agreed at inception, this defined the main management and working methodologies of the Alertox-Net project. Work packages were developed by the consortium to achieve the project objectives.
Co-ordinated by Prof. Luis Botana, partners from eleven centres of excellence in Spain, Portugal, France, U.K and Ireland bring together a wealth of experience to provide innovative solutions to achieve the project deliverables.
