SUMMARY:Science to policy: EU chemicals legislation\, international convent
 ions and regulatory science
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:PARC is organising a remote training course entitled “Science
  to policy: EU chemicals legislation\, international conventions and regul
 atory science”\, which take place on 26 November 2026. The training will
  provide participants with an overview of European and international chemi
 cals legislation\, focusing on how scientific evidence contributes to regu
 latory decision-making and the protection of human health and the environm
 ent.The course is scientifically coordinated by Dr Aglaia Koutsodimou and 
 Aikaterini Meliou\, from the General Chemical State Laboratory ↗ (GCSL)\
 , Greece.What to expect:An overview of EU chemicals legislation\, includin
 g REACH and CLP\, and the evolution of European chemicals policy.An introd
 uction to international chemicals conventions and frameworks\, including t
 he Minamata Convention on Mercury\, and the Rotterdam and Stockholm Conven
 tions\, as well as the “One Substance\, One Assessment” initiative.&nb
 sp\;Insights into the roles of scientific and regulatory bodies\, includin
 g ECHA\, RAC\, SEAC\, MSC\, EFSA\, SCCS\, and the OECD\, in chemical risk 
 assessment and risk management.Exploration of how experimental data contri
 bute to hazard identification\, exposure assessment\, and chemical risk as
 sessment.An understanding of how scientific evidence informs EU chemicals 
 legislation\, including regulatory decision-making processes and implement
 ation.&nbsp\;Who should attend:The course is intended for researchers work
 ing in the fields of chemicals\, human health or environmental risk assess
 ment who are interested in understanding how their research can contribute
  to regulatory processes and policy development. It is particularly suitab
 le for PhD candidates and postgraduate students seeking structured underst
 anding of EU and international chemicals legislation. Participants should 
 also have a basic academic background in chemistry\, toxicology\, environm
 ental sciences\, life sciences or a related discipline.Practical details:P
 articipation is limited to 100 attendees. Applications will be evaluated b
 ased on applicants' academic and professional backgrounds\, relevant exper
 ience and motivation\, with priority given to PARC partners.Application de
 adline:Submit your application here by 1 November 2026.For additional info
