Context for the PARC proposal
  Challenges: Risk assessment agencies and                         Opportunity: Horizon Europe
  regulatory bodies and associated research                        A partnership to boost research and innovation
  community in the EU are confronted with                          in support of chemical risk assessment
  Øpersistent science-regulatory gap
                                                                   Responding to policy priorities:
  Øgaps in knowledge of and information on hazards,
                                                                   SDGs, 2019 Council Conclusions, Green Deal, Towards a
  Øoccurrence and exposures to chemicals and mixtures              Sustainable Chemicals Policy Strategy …
  Øscattered and non-accessible evidence                           Requirement:
  Øscreening, testing and assessment methods to be                 A joint research and innovation roadmap set by risk
   developed, validated and taken-up                               assessors & managers in consultation with academia,
  Øduplication of efforts and inefficient use of resources         association, industry and other stakeholders
  Øinsufficient risk communication

                                              Worked on it with a Steering Group (Sept 2019-Nov 2020):
