Welcome to CASCADE Annual Meeting 2007
Scientific results from CASCADE partners will be presented and the results of other CASCADE activities (Risk Assessment, Integration, Education and Dissemination) will be presented and discussed.
Presentations and posters sessions will give the opportunity for all members to participate in discussions and contribute to the planning of future CASCADE activities.
This meeting will also serve as a review meeting for CASCADE where the focus will be on major achievements and plans for CASCADE future activities.
Open ForumIn connection to this Annual Meeting will we organise an Open Forum, entitled REACH in reality with invited speakers from different stakeholders that are affected by the new European chemicals legislation. Open Forum is included in the schedule and when registring for the Annual Meeting you do not have to register separately for this session. More information regarding the Open Forum and the speakers is available here.

The session will include a workshop in presentation skills, career planning, networking and informal discussions. The programme for the Junior Scientists Session is available here.
