Calling for Science - Answering the Call

 

The European Commission launched a 25 Million € call for proposals towards a strategy towards alternatives to repeat-dose systemic safety tests using animals. The cosmetic industry has pledged to provide financial support to projects selected by the European Commission with the same amount.  Two information events around this call will be held at the occasion of the WC7:

  • Introduction (T. Hartung, CAAT, Co-Chair VII World Congress)
  • Background, Set-up and Structure of the research project (R. Draghia-Akli, European Commission – DG Research; B. Heerink, Colipa)
  • Scope of Research – Workplan (H. Spielmann, ZEBET)

2) Bringing together interested scientists

Tuesday September 1, 2009 Rome Cavalieri Hotel (WC7 Congress Venue), hrs 18:30 - 20:00

  • Short presentation on seven areas of research
  • Break-out in round table sessions - possibility to make contacts and identify potential research partners under the various research areas
