Progress on Early Warning System discussed in Copenhagen
PARC experts convened in Copenhagen on 18-19 June 2025 to review advancements in the Early Warning System (EWS) for hazardous chemicals. The meeting focused on sharing case study results and refining the roadmap for the system's future development.
From data to synergy: Mapping Europe's capacities in chemical hazard research
A major step forward for European collaboration in chemical hazard assessment has been taken. Over 70 experts from 20 countries have contributed to a comprehensive mapping of Europe’s research capacities, laying the foundation for a more integrated and sustainable (eco)toxicological research environment.
PARC’s repository of learning and educational materials now available
PARC’s new repository on learning and education materials offers videos, webinars, e-learning tools, and readings on chemical risk science - filtered by topic, audience, and skill level.
PARC is strengthening Europe’s scientific infrastructure with two major updates: an expanded interactive map of human biomonitoring laboratories and the launch of a new map showcasing laboratories specialised in air quality analysis across Europe.
PARC research projects online: greater accessibility and greater impact
Over 60 PARC research projects are now featured on our website in a clear, consistent format - making key results, policy relevance, and impacts easier to explore for both experts and the public. Explore how PARC research is shaping the future of chemical risk assessment!
In our new series "Meet the Chemical Leaders", we spotlight Lutz Ahrens, an associate professor at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Discover his insights on PFAS as a chemical leader.
Dorte Herzke, senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU), explains why understanding exposure and health risks related to microplastics remains challenging - and how initiatives like PARC are paving the way for harmonised monitoring methods that can turn emerging science into reliable protection for people.
PARC International Board convenes to advance harmonisation, innovation, and global collaboration
The meeting focused on strengthening the long-term impact of the partnership through enhanced harmonisation of chemical inventories, the integration of emerging scientific endpoints into risk assessment, and greater global policy engagement.
