Enhancements of pest risk analysis techniques (PRATIQUE)
Project
Project code: 212459
Contract period: 01.03.2008
- 31.05.2011
Budget: 2,760,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
PRATIQUE (Enhancements of Pest Risk Analysis Techniques) will carry out all the key work listed in the call and address the major challenges for pest risk analysis (PRA) in Europe. This will be achieved through three principal objectives: to assemble the datasets required to construct effective PRAs valid for the whole of the EU, to conduct multi-disciplinary research that enhances the techniques used in PRA and to ensure that the PRA decision support scheme meets its purpose, is efficient and user-friendly.
Pest risk analysts, phytosanitary experts, invasive alien species specialists, ecologists, economists and risk modellers from 13 leading institutes in the EU, one from Australia and one from New Zealand will produce the first structured inventory of PRA datasets for the EU and undertake targeted research to improve existing procedures and develop new methods for
- the assessment of economic, environmental and social impacts,
- summarising risk in effective, harmonised ways that take account of uncertainty,
- mapping endangered areas
- pathway risk analysis and systems approaches and
- guiding actions during emergencies caused by outbreaks of harmful pests.
