4th Online Workshop on Harmonisation and Standardisation of Test Methods: The Challenges of NAMs and Advanced Materials

📅 VIRTUAL EVENT | 24-25 November 2026 | 10:00–16:00 CET The use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) holds out the promise to transform chemicals and materials safety assessment by reducing reliance on animal testing and potentially lowers the costs of undertaking those tests. A wide variety of NAMs are being developed for human health and environmental protection, several of which are being supported in their development through European project funding. However, the development of NAMs and…
