ONTOX Ontology-driven and artificial intelligence-based repeated dose toxicity testing of chemicals for next generation risk assessment

Coordinator: VRIJE UNIVERSITEIT BRUSSEL (BE)

The vision of the ONTOX consortium is to provide a functional and sustainable solution for advancing human risk assessment of chemicals without the use of animals in line with the principles of 21st century toxicity testing and next generation risk assessment. Specifically, ONTOX will deliver a generic strategy to create innovative new approach methodologies (NAMs) in order to predict systemic repeated dose toxicity effects that, upon combination with tailored exposure assessment, will enable human risk assessment. This strategy can be applied to any type of chemical and systemic repeated dos…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €17.2M toward a total project budget of €17.4M — a funding rate of 99%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5.5 years from 2021-05-01 to 2026-10-31.
