MEET US AT EVENTS
SETAC Europe 35th Annual Meeting
The SETAC Europe 35th Annual Meeting will take place from 11–15 May 2025 in Vienna, Austria, at the Austria Center Vienna. This global event will gather professionals from academia, industry, and government to discuss the latest advances in environmental toxicology, chemistry, and sustainable development. The conference will focus on integrating innovations with safety and sustainability principles, promoting the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach across various disciplines.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a wide array of sessions, including scientific presentations, plenaries, and panel discussions. These will cover pressing environmental challenges such as chemical safety, ecological risk assessment, and pollution mitigation. The program also includes training courses and seminars, providing educational opportunities for both established professionals and emerging scientists.
Attendees will have access to recorded presentations, poster sessions, and networking opportunities, ensuring a rich and interactive experience. Special sessions will also be held to facilitate deeper discussions on emerging environmental issues and foster collaboration across various sectors.
Abstract Submission: 20 November (17:00 CET)
SSbD24 Conference
The EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability envisions the transition towards safer and more sustainable chemicals and materials. In 2022 the European Commission published an initial Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework to support the development of new chemicals and materials and the re-design of existing ones. To enable this transition, safety and sustainability aspects need to be combined. This calls for multidisciplinary efforts from different stakeholders such as scientists, regulators and experts from industrial value chains.
The SSbD24 Conference on Monte Verità aims to bring together experts from various relevant fields and sectors who have started to work on specific methods, tools and criteria to enable the actual use of SSbD. Experts from industry and value chains using chemicals and materials will present their first-hand experience in applying the SSbD framework in case studies, and regulators will express their views on how to operationalize the concept and related policy needs.
A special session will be organized by and for Early Stage Researchers to help networking and get familiar with opportunities on SSbD related topics in- and outside academia. Further information will be provided during the registration.
