ASPIS Open Symposium 2022

The symposium presented the latest work of the ASPIS cluster formed by the three Horizon 2020 consortia: ONTOX, PrecisionTox, and RISK-HUNT3R and focus on the implementation of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for chemical risk assessment.

The objectives of the ASPIS Open Symposium were:

  • To highlight relevant technologies for improving chemical safety assessment and the regulation of hazardous substances;
  • To increase confidence in the use of NAMs and to broadly promote their applications for effective risk management;
  • To identify barriers and provide solutions for the reduction, refinement and replacement of animal testing (the 3Rs principle);
  • To promote early career researchers and create a network of next generation decision makers;
  • To facilitate communication among ASPIS and international stakeholders.

The ASPIS Open Symposium was kindly hosted by the 21st International Congress of the European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV), a bi-annual appointment aiming to create a forum of scientists in a unique atmosphere for discussions and knowledge exchange focusing on the development of in vitro and in silico approaches.
