CASCADE open forum, Brussels, Belgium
2 October 2008 - 2 October 2008
Belgium
The CASCADE open forum is scheduled to take place in Brussels, Belgium, on 2 October. It will address issues of 'Endocrine disruption - present health threats and future research needs'.
The mission of the forum is to provide the European science community and stakeholders with an open platform for debate and communication on endocrine disruption (ED). More specifically, topics to be covered include:
- health threats;
- risk and hazard assessment;
- present position of European research;
- new detection methods and models;
- industry demands on method development;
- global screening projects.
The event is to present Europe's leading research trends in the research field of ED. It is an opportunity to discuss and influence the future of ED research and innovation in Europe.
There is growing concern about a large number of endocrine disrupting chemicals in our environment which can act like hormones and disturb the functioning of the endocrine system in animals and humans. They may cause adverse health effects such as cancer, behavioural changes and reproductive and developmental abnormalities. The outcome of the forum will be a strategic agenda which clearly defines the mutual needs, interests and expectations in the main activity areas such as research, education and risk assessment.In order to register, please click:
