The whole RISK-HUNT3R consortium convened in June in Helsinki for a truly energizing week, bringing together project members and stakeholders to shape the future of chemicalย riskย assessment.

๐Ÿ’กย Across four packed days, we:

  • Demonstrated the ASPA workflow for Next Generation Risk Assessment (NGRA) and showcased the NAM toolbox and linked innovations
  • Presented ongoing RISK-HUNT3R NGRA case studies
  • Engaged in a thought-provoking panel discussion on the impact of RISK-HUNT3R and ASPA for the European Commission NAM Roadmap
  • Explored RISK-HUNT3R sustainability efforts and valorisation strategies for NAM-based NGRA
  • Held poster session on RISK-HUNT3R scientific and implementation achievements and enjoyed Junior Scientist speed presentations of NAM innovations
  • Showcased the submitted OECD IATA case studies

Reflecting on theย ASPAย andย NAMASTOX, our SRAB memberย Nicholas Ballย (Dow) illustratively explained:
