MIND: a proposed strategic and collaborative platform for advancing chemical environmental risk assessment
How do we move from laboratory innovation to real-world environmental protection? The answer lies in collaboration. The newly proposed MIND platform serves as a strategic hub to align research with regulatory policy, ensuring that advanced, animal-free, and systems-based risk assessments are effectively implemented.
Co-authored by experts from the SYBERAC project and PARC, this initiative marks a major step toward the goals of the European Green Deal and the long-term protection of global biodiversity.
A systems-based analysis to rethink the European environmental risk assessment of regulated chemicals using pesticides as a pilot case
Advancing environmental risk assessment (ERA) is essential to addressing the landscape-scale and long-term impacts of pesticides. Commissioned by EFSA, the 2022 PERA Roadmap proposes a transition from traditional substance-by-substance paradigms toward a systems-based approach.
By using pesticides as a pilot area, the roadmap aims to resolve current data fragmentation and bridge the "innovation-to-regulation" gap. Implementing these integrative steps requires strengthened collaboration across scientific and regulatory domains to meet European sustainability and "One Health" goals.
