CFP summary
The SETAC Europe 36th Annual Meeting is a major international conference for environmental toxicology, chemistry, exposure science, risk assessment, life cycle thinking, and environmental policy. The 2026 meeting in Maastricht is organized around the theme “Embrace the outlier. In science, regulations and networks,” underscoring the role of novel findings, interdisciplinary thinking, and collaboration in addressing environmental challenges. SETAC’s annual meetings are widely used by researchers, regulators, consultants, industry scientists, and public-sector specialists to present new research, discuss regulatory science, and connect fundamental environmental studies with real-world decision-making. The official programme structure shows a broad environmental focus spanning chemical fate and exposure, toxicological effects, ecological protection, human health, life cycle approaches, policy, management, and cross-cutting emerging topics.
Topics
Environmental and human toxicology in changing climates; omics, biomarkers and novel methods in ecotoxicology; stress ecology and multiple stressors; environmental chemistry and exposure assessment; monitoring, modelling and chemical fate; ecological and human health risk assessment; life cycle assessment, life cycle management and footprinting; environmental policy, risk management and science communication; cross-cutting, emerging, transdisciplinary and outlying topics in environmental science and regulation.
