LRI co-sponsors workshops and conferences with scientific societies, international organizations, and governmental agencies that are designed to focus on timely issues of mutual interest to these groups and to policy makers. The primary goals are to foster interactions among researchers and stakeholders, to stimulate discussions that can improve the scientific basis for policy-making and to support consensus building that can advance the risk assessment process.
ICCA-LRI & JRC Workshop:
21st Century Approaches for Evaluating Biological Activity, Exposures, and Risks of Complex Substances
Regina Palace Hotel, Stresa, Italy | 19-20 June 2019
This workshop will explore these challenges, along with successes, strategies, and next steps in utilizing modern methods to evaluate complex chemical substances and mixtures. This year’s workshop is co-organized by the International Council of Chemical Associations’ Long-Range Research Initiative (ICCA-LRI) and the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC). To learn more and to register please see the workshop flyer or go to the
