Total sum awarded: €1 285 295

AIHABs is a multidisciplinary innovative initiative aimed at developing an integrated evaluation system to forecast the risk derived from thepresence of emerging cyanotoxins in inland and coastal ecosystems. The innovation of this proposal resides at merging tools as lastgeneration Artificial Intelligence (AI), remote sensing, nanosensors, hydrodynamic modelling and massive genetic sequencing with the jointpurpose of providing an early warning system to decision making authorities in terms of risk to the population. The predicting modellingeffort will allow a timely action to minimize the risks of consuming surface waters or using them as recreational resources when thewaterbodies are prone to produce toxic cyanobacterial blooms.
