It's called the cohort study on mobile communications (COSMOS) and forms part of the Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme, which is funded by government and industry.
COSMOS participants will be from the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands. The study will run for 20-30 years and will follow the health of at least a quarter of a million participants aged 18-69. The UK arm of COSMOS is being led by a research team from Imperial College London.
