The PARC Work Package 5 (WP5) – Hazard Assessment Annual Meeting brings together researchers, Work Package partners to discuss the latest scientific developments supporting next-generation hazard assessment. The meeting provides an important platform to review ongoing activities, strengthen collaboration across institutions, and foster knowledge exchange on innovative approaches for chemical hazard assessment within PARC. 

Bringing together experts from across Europe in a hybrid format, the meeting promotes interdisciplinary dialogue and reinforces PARC's commitment to developing science-based solutions for improved chemical safety and health protection. 

Several PARC researchers will contribute to the scientific programme, including: 

• Lada Ivanova (Norwegian Veterinary Institute - VETINST, Norway ↗) presenting: “Uptake and biotransformation of enniatin B and B1 in intestinal cell models: factors affecting in vivo bioavailability” 
• Louise Gutter (National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment - INRAE, France ↗) presenting: “A first focus on the phase I biotransformation pathways followed by a selected set of bisphenol A alternatives” 
• Martina Iulini (Unisersità Degli Studi di Milano - UNIMI, Italy ↗) presenting: “Effects of BPA and its analogues on human T cell responses” 
• Simone Fibiger Sørensen (University of Southern Denmark – SDU, Denmark ↗) presenting: “Mapping Evidence for Developmental Neurotoxicity Mediated Through Endocrine Disruption in Fish” 

The WP5 Annual Meeting continues to play a central role in strengthening scientific collaboration within PARC and advancing innovative methodologies for hazard assessment. By bringing together expertise from across Europe, the meeting contributes to the development of robust scientific evidence that supports the future of chemical risk assessment and the protection of human health and the environment.
