Join us for a stakeholder workshop hosted by the NEMESIS project, bringing together researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders to discuss how metabolism-disrupting chemicals (MDCs) affect human health. The workshop will focus on the latest research results and how emerging knowledge can better inform practical decision-making and policy.

The event will include short presentations alongside open discussion, giving participants with an opportunity to exchange perspectives and reflect on how scientific knowledge can be translated into real-world action.

Why attend?

  • Gain insights into MDC-related health effects
  • Learn about new tools and approaches being developed in the field
  • Discuss directly with experts and stakeholders from different sectors
  • Share your perspectives and help shape future research directions and chemical policy
