COMET strongly supported the development and implementation of medium-term topical research roadmaps consistent with the ALLIANCE Strategic Research Agenda

The ALLIANCE 6 Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) initiated by the STAR 7 Network of Excellence and
integrated in the research strategy implemented by the COMET consortium, defines a long-term vision
of the needs for, and implementation of, research in radioecology. This reference document,
reflecting views from many stakeholders groups and researchers, serves as an input to those
responsible for defining EU research call topics through the ALLIANCE SRA statement delivered each
year to the EJP-CONCERT 8 (2015 –2020). This statement highlights a focused number of priorities for
funding. Research in radioecology and related sciences is justified by various drivers, such as
policy changes, scientific advances and knowledge gaps, radiological risk perception by the public,
and a growing awareness of interconnections between human and ecosystem health. The SRA is being
complemented by topical roadmaps that have been initiated by the COMET 9 EC-fund...
