16th Cefic-LRI Annual Workshop 2014

The Long-Range Research Initiative Programme (LRI) of the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic) is organising its 16th annual workshop to discuss what’s needed to streamline the science argumentation and consensus process.

The workshop will also showcase the results and outcomes of several LRI projects completed in 2013-2014. The key areas of discussion will be the impact of the LRI projects with focus on exposure, biomonitoring, toxicogenomics, sediment transformation, dose-response, and benefit-risk analysis .
