Thank you to everyone who submitted a proposal, please take note of the selection process:
- Initial review
The ECETOC and Cefic LRI will convene a group of experts to review all submitted proposals by end of November 2026 and select those to be presented at the Scoping Meeting in February 1-3, 2027 in Brussels.
- Presentation and discussion
If your proposal is shortlisted, you (or a nominated colleague) will be expected to attend the Scoping Meeting in person. Shortlisted proposals will be presented as a brief elevator pitch, followed by discussion in breakout groups. Participants at the event will then cast an indicative vote to help inform the prioritisation of proposals by the ECETOC Scientific Committee and the Cefic LRI Expert Groups.
- Final prioritisation
Following the Scoping Meeting, the ECETOC Scientific Committee and the Cefic LRI Expert Groups will review the outcomes of the discussions and indicative vote before making the final decision on which proposals to take forward.
- Implementation
If your proposal is selected:
For ECETOC, you will be expected to play a leading role in its implementation , working closely with the team.
For Cefic-LRI, the project will be developed into a request for proposal to receive expressions of interest from the broader research community.
