Description:
The Systems Toxicology Unit of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) is strongly committed to development and uptake of AOPs. In coordination with the OECD, the JRC and EPA have collaborated closely in the development of training and outreach materials related to the development and application of AOPs. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has requested that the JRC provide eight training courses, each 2 days in duration, to EFSA over a 2.5 year period. Given EPA’s expertise in the development of AOPs and the AOP-wiki, as well as EPA’s experience in training others on the AOP concepts and best practices in this rapidly moving arena, the JRC has engaged EPA expertise in this training activity, which reaches groups of 30-40 participants from regulatory authorities and academic institutes across Europe.
