The BelTox annual scientific meeting of 2023 (AM23) will take place in the Auditoire Maisin at the Brussels campus of the UCLouvain on December 7th. The theme of the meeting is “Advances in the Risk Assessment of Chemical Mixtures”.
Jacob van Klaveren (RIVM) will set the stage by providing a State of the Science. Next, recent advances in the field will be discussed by Andreas Kortenkamp (Brunel University) who will look into the use NAMs and MAF, and by Robert Pasanen-Kase (SECO) who will discuss the use of AOPs. Interesting case studies will be provided by Juan-Carlos Carillo (Shell) who will present an assessment approach for oil and wax hydrocarbons, by Birgit Mertens (Sciensano) who will describe the recent work on mycotoxin mixtures in food and by Hugo Waeterschoot (Eurometaux) who will provide an industry perspective on mixture risk assessment of chemicals in the environment. We will conclude the series of presentations by looking further into the future; Sarah Leverato (EFSA) will discuss the EFSA Roadmap for pesticide risk assessment.
In addition to the short Q&A sessions after each presentation, we foresee a longer session after the last presentation during which we will be able to discuss the learnings and questions accumulated during the different presentations and deepen the exchanges between the presenters and meeting participants.
As every year, BelTox will organize during this meeting a young scientist contest for the best presentations and posters of PhD students. The two best presentations and two best posters will receive a prize.
