SYBERAC Webinar: Collaboration Opportunities for Environmental Risk Assessment
Join SYBERAC’s first webinar!
SYBERAC’s activities are aligned with the work of several related projects, and we have formed a collaborative alliance with PARC Activity 6.4.4 “Risk assessment to support and promote efficient overall protection of biodiversity” and PollinERA. As collaborative projects, we are committed to open exchanges of information and insights.
At this webinar we will present some of the ongoing activities and collaborative opportunities, as part of the three projects.
In addition, we conducted a joint survey to gain insights about enhancing the environmental risk assessment (ERA) of chemicals. It was targeted at regulatory Risk Assessors working with ERA for plant protection products (PPP) under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. We will present the background and objectives of the survey (e.g. identify some key themes relating to collaboration).
The SYBERAC webinar will be an open event for people interested in advancing ERA of chemicals.
Attend this event to learn more about upcoming activities and collaborative opportunities.
Together, we aim to advance ERA methodologies to meet the European Commission’s Green Deal policy targets.
OUTCOMES
Led by project partners James H. Williams (Aarhus University) and Noa Simón Delso (BeeLife), the event aimed to enhance the understanding of how ‘risk assessment’ is done in practice, paying special attention to the interface of the different steps of the process.

During the training session, representatives from major ERA regulatory agencies, including the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES), and the Belgian Federal Public Service (FPS) Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment, who are actively involved in different aspects of risk assessment for chemicals, presented their perspectives. They provided insights into practical details and limitations of environmental risk assessment (ERA), the flows of information and the use of models.
