This Satellite event fosters dialogue on the future of chemical safety, emphasizing advances in toxicology and science-policy integration in risk assessment. It bridges scientific research, regulation, public health, and environmental protection. This event will feature talks and a roundtable discussion, highlight the recently released Stockholm Declaration on Chemistry for the Future, and explore the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in promoting safer chemicals and sustainability. Everyone is welcome to bring a poster and share their research!
