Celebrating Four Years of Pioneering Research into Micro- and Nanoplastics and Health

The CUSP adventure is coming to a close - but its impact will live on. As the European Research Cluster to Understand the Health Impacts of Micro- and Nanoplastics (CUSP) officially ends in April 2025, we invite you to dive into our 8th and final newsletter - a vibrant reflection on four remarkable years of science, collaboration, and discovery.

In this final edition, you will find a rich tapestry of insights: highlights from our last major meetings, key scientific breakthroughs across all five projects, and a preview of what’s next. Two major outputs - the CUSP Research Roadmap and the third Policy Brief - are on the horizon and will soon help guide future research and regulation.

The newsletter also celebrates the spirit of collaboration that has made CUSP a success — with over 75 organisations, 21 countries, more than a hundred publications, and countless connections that will fuel the next chapter of micro- and nanoplastics research.

Don't miss out: discover how CUSP’s work continues to echo through upcoming events, global initiatives, and even a documentary! Read the final newsletter and see how four years of joint effort are shaping the future of science and policy for a healthier tomorrow.
