Cefic-lri Programme | European Chemical Industry Council

14th Cefic-LRI Annual Workshop 2012

Start date: 14 Nov. 2012

End date: 15 Nov. 2012

The Long-range Research Initiative (LRI) Programme of the European Council for the Chemical Industry (Cefic) organised its annual workshop to showcase results and outcomes of several LRI projects completing in 2011-2012.

The workshop focused on key areas including combined exposure, exposure modeling, persistence, nanomaterials, environment bioaccumulation and prediction models. The objective of the workshop was to show scientists, academia, regulators and stakeholders the value that the LRI Programme has created and introduce its future direction.
