SETAC Supports Cefic Innovative Science Award for Ecotoxicology
11/06/2007
As partner to the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic)’s Innovative Science Award, part of the Long-range Research Initiative (LRI), SETAC welcomed the €100,000 grant being awarded to 30-year old German scientist Dr Roman Ashauer for his innovative research in the field of aquatic research and ecotoxicology.
Winner Dr Roman Ashauer from the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology received the grant for his work on ‘Improving the definition of water quality criteria: linking organism recovery times to mechanism of action and acute-to-chronic ratios’.
"Though the two runners-up were also of excellent quality, the jury’s decision was unanimous“, SETAC Europe’s Executive Director Bart Bosveld said adding that “the winning project is convincing because of its clarity, realistic approach, and its focus on innovation.”
The Innovative Science Award is open to scientists at the start of their careers in toxicology or eco-toxicology. By supporting this award in cooperation with Cefic, SETAC aims to offer a brilliant future to a young scientist.
