Conference on Agriculture 2025
2025 BMUV Conference on Agriculture – Biodiversity and Agriculture in Dialogue
Join the 2025 BMUV Conference on Agriculture, focusing on biodiversity’s vital role in agriculture and food security. This year’s event highlights the findings of the German Biodiversity Assessment, revealing the severe degradation of habitats like arable fields and grasslands. Discussions will centre on successful collaborations between agriculture and nature conservation, as well as the political frameworks needed to reverse the biodiversity crisis.

Participation only possible via livestream, as spots in Berlin are fully booked
AGENDA
SYBERAC Webinar: Collaboration Opportunities for Environmental Risk Assessment
Join SYBERAC’s first webinar!
SYBERAC’s activities are aligned with the work of several related projects, and we have formed a collaborative alliance with PARC Activity 6.4.4 “Risk assessment to support and promote efficient overall protection of biodiversity” and PollinERA. As collaborative projects, we are committed to open exchanges of information and insights.
At this webinar we will present some of the ongoing activities and collaborative opportunities, as part of the three projects.
In addition, we conducted a joint survey to gain insights about enhancing the environmental risk assessment (ERA) of chemicals. It was targeted at regulatory Risk Assessors working with ERA for plant protection products (PPP) under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. We will present the background and objectives of the survey (e.g. identify some key themes relating to collaboration).
The SYBERAC webinar will be an open event for people interested in advancing ERA of chemicals.
Attend this event to learn more about upcoming activities and collaborative opportunities.
Together, we aim to advance ERA methodologies to meet the European Commission’s Green Deal policy targets.

EUROTOX 2024
The Danish Society of Toxicology and Pharmacology is organising EUROTOX 2024 in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 8 to 11 September 2024.
The congress theme, "Toxicology – A Quest for Safe Chemicals and Medicines," encompasses a broad range of topics related to the safety of drugs and environmental chemicals, emerging technologies, personalised medicine, and the health effects of chemical exposure. It also addresses safety concerns related to climate change.
The Local Organising Committee (LOC) and the Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) have developed a comprehensive programme featuring the latest advancements in toxicology and methodologies. The event will highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration within toxicology and with the medical industry.
