ECETOC provides a collaborative space for top scientists from industry, academia and governments to develop and promote practical, trusted and sustainable solutions to scientific challenges which are valuable to industry, as well as to the regulatory community and society in general. We SHAPE scientific knowledge by working with leading scientists from academia, governments and industry to answer crucial scientific questions about chemical safety and so develop practical applications to solve scientific challenges. We EXPAND scientific knowledge by working with Cefic’s Long-range Research Initiative (LRI) to develop targeted scientific research that tackles both today’s and tomorrow’s chemistry challenges. We COMMUNICATE scientific knowledge by providing scientific thought-leadership, creating a practical knowledge base that is shared freely on our website, alongside our chemical safety assessment tools.
