SETAC Europe 33rd Annual Meeting

The Scientific Committee for the SETAC Europe 33rd Annual Meeting is committed to putting together a not-to-be-missed conference with an exciting scientific programme addressing the overarching theme of “Data-driven environmental decision-making” for the protection and restoration of the environment.

The breadth of topics that SETAC Europe 2023 will address includes:

1.            The environmental fate and effects of emerging and existing pollutants and their mixtures, at cellular, organism, community, population and ecosystem levels;

2.            The development of solutions to reduce, replace and regulate the use of known pollutants;

3.            Strategies and methods to mitigate and remediate contaminated soil, air and water;

4.            Innovations to foster more sustainable practices in agriculture, waste treatment, resource management and more; and

5.            Life cycle thinking approaches including supply chain data collection, impact assessment modelling and footprinting methodologies.

The scientific programme consists of 7 tracks for parallel sessions.

1. Environmental and human toxicology: from molecules to organisms, from omics to in vivo

2. Ecotoxicology becomes stress ecology: from populations to ecosystems and landscapes

3. Environmental chemistry and exposure assessment: analysis, monitoring, fate and modeling

4. Ecological and human health risk assessment of chemicals, mixtures and stressors and risk mitigation strategies

5. Life Cycle Assessment and foot-printing

6. Environmental policy, risk management, and science communication

7. Think-outside-the-box (fundamentally new concepts, innovative/controversial ideas, interdisciplinary issues)
