About the event
The Scientific Committee for the SETAC Europe 34th Annual Meeting is committed to putting together a not-to-be-missed conference with an exciting scientific programme addressing the overarching theme of “Science-Based Solutions in Times of Crisis: Integrating Science and Policy for Environmental Challenges.”
In our post-pandemic world, with food and cost of living crises exacerbated by armed conflict, environmental quality and long-term sustainable solutions are at risk. Therefore, there is a demand for new science-based solutions to the challenges ahead. These include the re-design of the agri-food chain, the loss of biodiversity, changes in land use and coastal ecosystems, and new regulatory frameworks encouraging sustainable innovations in the chemical industry. Environmental science can contribute to tackling some of these mentioned changes, for example by realistic risk assessment of chemical pollution in soil and water (i.e., by incorporating state-of-the-art of bioavailability concepts), by determining the environmental safety of recycled materials, as well as by evaluating the life cycle of new products and processes and their effects on the ecosystem services. Integrative approaches are needed, that not only address the new potential risks, but identify renewable solutions to protect the natural resources, following the principles of the European Green Deal.
SETAC Europe 2024 will bring together scientists from various disciplines in academia, business/industry and government to share, debate, discuss, disseminate and facilitate the use and re-use of their most recent scientific knowledge to support adaptive and responsive environmental management and protection.
The breadth of topics that SETAC Europe 2024 will address includes:
1. The environmental fate and effects of emerging and existing pollutants and their mixtures, at cellular, organism, community, population and ecosystem levels;
2. The development of solutions to reduce, replace and regulate the use of known pollutants;
3. Strategies and methods to mitigate and remediate contaminated soil, air and water;
4. Innovations to foster more sustainable practices in agriculture, waste treatment, resource management and more; and
5. Life cycle thinking approaches including supply chain data collection, impact assessment modelling and footprinting methodologies.
The scientific programme consists of 7 tracks for parallel sessions.
Tracks:
1. Environmental and Human Toxicology: From Molecules to Organisms, From Omics to in Vivo
2. Ecotoxicology Becomes Stress Ecology: From Populations to Ecosystems and Landscapes
3. Environmental Chemistry and Exposure Assessment: Analysis, Monitoring, Fate and Modelling
4. Ecological and Human Health Risk Assessment of Chemicals, Mixtures and Stressors and Risk Mitigation Strategies
5. Life Cycle Assessment and Foot-Printing
6. Environmental Policy, Risk Management, and Science Communication
7. Moving Beyond - Cross Cutting Themes, Emerging and Transdisciplinary Topics
