Details

The core thesis of the event, “One substance, one assessment”, is probably a consensus in the EU – however, it is still at least several years away from its consistent implementation. It is not only based on an economic motivation through simplification and acceleration of procedures as well as reduction of bureaucracy, but primarily on improved protection of humans from adverse effects: at the workplace as well as at home.

Register here and join us in analysing how this goal can be achieved on the basis of currently relevant examples. Three sessions will be devoted specifically to

• Health risk assessment. The focus will be on New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), mixture toxicity, human studies and modelling.
• Effectiveness of social media, videos and other visual elements in communicating risks.
• Antimicrobial resistance in humans and animals.
