A research on the complex relationship of electromagnetic field and human health from early life to adulthood.
Concept
CLUE-H projects collaborate across five Working Groups
How much are we exposed to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields? How is our electromagnetic environment changing with the introduction of new wireless technologies, in particular 5G? Is there any impact on our health and the environment?
Our shared vision:
These questions will be answered over the next five years by the European Research Cluster on EMF and Health (CLUE-H), which was officially launched on 22th September 2022, with a kick-off meeting in Thessaloniki, Greece. The CLUE-H network involves more than 70 European research organisations in four research consortia (ETAIN, GOLiAT, NextGEM, SEAWave), with additional contribution from scientists in the USA, Korea and Japan. The total funding will amount to more than €29 million from the Horizon Europe 2021-2027. The results are expected to fill the knowledge gaps that exist regarding the impact of wireless technologies on health and the environment. They will be essential in ensuring a safe deployment and use of future wireless networks which will benefit citizens and society, for example in health, transport, e-government and smart cities.

The CLUE-H composition
4 parallel projects to study electromagnetic fields and health.
The CLUE-H network involves more than 70 European research organisations in four research consortia (ETAIN, GOLiAT, NextGEM, SEAWave), with additional contribution from scientists in the USA, Korea and Japan.
Scientific-Based Exposure and Risk Assessment of Radiofrequency and mm-Wave Systems from children to elderly (5G and Beyond).
It is co-funded by Horizon Europe and SERI (Switzerland). It aims to contribute to the scientific basis for health risk assessment of 5G and offer the means for effective health risk communication and results dissemination to all stakeholders, ranging from citizens and national regulators, to standardization bodies and the industry.
Enhancing the investigation of RF-EMF and its possible effects on human health and biodiversity.
ETAIN aims to develop and validate approaches to assess the impact of emerging technology from a human and planetary perspective, while exploring options for exposure reduction. The full process promotes interactions with citizens and stakeholders about exposure levels and possible associated risks. Following a citizen science paradigm, ETAIN develops an app & portal able to quantify one’s personal exposure to RF-EMF (Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields) and to map exposure levels across European cities.
5G exposure, casual effects and risk perception through citizen engagement.
GOLiAT (5G expOsure, causaL effects, and rIsk perception through citizen engAgemenT) is a five-year project aimed at providing responses to some of the questions raised by the new wireless technologies, with a special focus in 5G.
Next Generation Integrated Sensing and Analytical System for Monitoring and Assessing Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field Exposure and Health.
The NextGEM project’s vision is to ensure EU citizens’ safety when employing existing and future EMF-based telecommunication technologies. This will be accomplished by generating relevant knowledge that identifies appropriate control measures of EMF exposure in the residential, public, and occupational settings. Fulfilling this vision will provide a healthy living and working environment, under safe EMF exposure conditions, trustable by people and in line with the regulations and laws issued by the public authorities.
