Dear Colleague.,
We are pleased to announce the joint VKM & EFSA Symposium “Advancing Environmental Risk Assessment by Accounting for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services as Protection Goals”, which
will be held in Oslo, Norway, on 26th – 27th October 2017.
How can we derive operational protection goals for use in environmental risk assessments? This question will be addressed at the Symposium where EFSA’s latest guidance on making protection goals
operational will be presented. The Symposium also aims at fostering dialogue and cooperation on protection goals between risk assessors and risk managers. The Symposium will include presentations from international speakers, as well as a panel discussion with
representatives from environmental and food safety Agencies in the Nordic Zone.
The programme, as well as information about the venue and accommodation, is
available on VKM’s website and as well attached.
Interested parties are requested
to register online by 19th September 2017. There is no fee for participation. Please be aware that there is a limited number of seats for the Symposium (200), and therefore registrations are on a first-come / first-serve
basis. Registrations may close once the maximum number of participants is reached.
For more information, feel free to contact VKM at
EFSAFocalPoint-norway@vkm.no.
We kindly ask you to
disseminate this information through the relevant national networks/organisations/stakeholders.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Your sincerely,
Micael Wendell
