Interested researchers from all seven Centres of the Research Field Earth and Environment came together on February 16, 2024 for the 1st SynCom Hour.

At this online event, the anchor persons first introduced themselves, followed by a presentation from the SynCom coordination office. Afterwards, Beate Escher (UFZ), Pia-Johanna Schweizer (RIFS), and Sina Leipold (UFZ) presented the ongoing SynCom project “A science-society dialogue for modernizing chemical hazard assessment (ModHaz)”. The subsequent discussion highlighted the added value of working in SynCom projects and gave suggestions for future SynCom work. “SynCom is a great opportunity and support,” says Pia-Johanna Schweizer about the ModHaz SynCom project.
