About the project

WHAT IS GOLIAT?

GOLIAT (5G expOsure, causaL effects, and rIsk perception through citizen engAgemenT) is a five-year project aimed at providing responses to some of the questions raised by the new wireless technologies, with a special focus in 5G.

GOALS

The aims of GOLIAT are to monitor radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) exposure, particularly from 5G, provide novel insights into its potential causal health effects, and understand how exposures and risks are perceived and best communicated using citizen engagement.

FUNDING

The project has a total funding of 9.3 million €, 7 of which have been provided by European Union’s Horizon Europe research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101057262.

Conflicts of Interest Statement

GOLIAT brings together a research team with a long history of research into RF-EMF impacts, building on experience from a variety of projects and activities. Collaborative projects with external funders are carried out on the premise that these do not impact negatively on researchers objectivity, freedom or integrity. In our opinion, existing or previous projects, do not represent a conflict of interest for the GOLIAT project, ISGlobal or GOLIAT partners.
