YOUR TASKS

The EU-funded ETAIN project aims to explore the impact of radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic field exposure on planetary health. As part of this project, you’ll play a crucial role in improving our understanding of RF electromagnetic field exposure. Here are the key tasks you’ll be involved in:

 

Collaboration and Quantification:

• Work closely with an interdisciplinary team of researchers at Ghent University and other research partners across the EU.
• Quantify exposure to RF electromagnetic fields through a combination of numerical simulations and environmental measurements.

Communication and Reporting:

• Communicate the results of your simulations and measurements to scientists from diverse backgrounds.
• Report your research findings and project outcomes to both the scientific community and the general public.
• Create and maintain public databases and online tools where project results are accessible to everyone. These will serve as valuable resources for understanding and addressing potential health effects related to RF electromagnetic field exposure.

Project Organization:

• Organize various tasks within the project, ensuring smooth coordination.
• Ensure timely execution of project tasks, milestones, and deliverables.

 

Your contributions will significantly advance our knowledge in this critical area, benefiting both human health and the environment. For more details, visit the ETAIN project website . 🌐🔬
