CEFIC-LRI AT SETAC 2026 – BOOTH 34

Cefic-LRI will be at the SETAC Europe 2026 Annual Meeting in Maastricht at Booth 34. Participants can stop by our booth and learn about LRI projects, events, funding opportunities and the research shaping chemical assessments. There will also be a daily quiz from Monday – Wednesday (there will not be a quiz on Sunday and Thursday), the quiz will be announced daily on our LinkedIn page at 9:30.

The quiz ends at 17:00, winners will be announced around 17:30. The prizes will be handed out at the Cefic-LRI booth until 18:00.

To participate, you must follow the Cefic-LRI LinkedIn page and be attending SETAC Europe 2026 in Maastricht.

Multiple LRI-awarded projects will be presenting their latest research throughout the conference.
