Stakeholder Workshops on Chemicals Regulation

The SynCom Project group "ModHaz" organized four workshops in November and December 2023 with stakeholders from companies, trade associations, science, NGOs, civil society, legislation, and regulation.

In these workshops, the participants discussed their assessment of the current EU chemicals policy and the strengths and weaknesses of the current hazard assessment methods. In addition, the ModHaz team presented a new method for chemical assessment that can be used to speed up the process, is free from animal testing, and allows for high-throughput. The participants from various interest groups were then asked to share their ideas for further development of the new method.
