SETAC Europe cooperates with the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) to present the Long-range Research Innovative Science Award. The € 100.000 prize aims to promote innovation in the fields of toxicology and ecotoxicology. Especially early career scientists are invited to submit a proposal for research in the broad fields of ecotoxicology, including but not limited to 1) eco-quality and eco-epidemiology, 2) eco-relevance of risk assessment procedures and 3) alternative methods in ecological safety.
