UE: Long-range Research Initialtive - Innovative Science Award 2011

• una comprensione migliore degli effetti ecologici,
• ridefinizione delle ipotesi e dei meccanismi assodati,
• riportare l'ecologia all'ecotoxicology che analizza l'impatto dei prodotti chimici sull'ambiente,
• approcci innovativi nelle procedure di analisi e verifica.

Possono partecipare i ricercatori europei con meno di 10 anni di esperienza post-dottorato.

The European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic), in conjunction with the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), the Association of European Toxicologists and European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX), the International Society of Exposure Sciences (ISES) and Chemical Week, is offering a €100,000 award to support promising new research in the field of environmental sciences related to ecological risk assessment.

'Ecotoxicology' encompasses a multitude of disciplines including – the much neglected – ecological aspects of the effects of chemicals on the environment. The objective of this LRI Award is to stimulate innovative research, ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking and approaches which will advance the ecological relevance and reliability of environmental/ecological risk assessment.

The award will be presented to an early career scientist presenting an innovative-interdisciplinary approach to this research issue. This could for example include environmental risk assessment methods using novel approaches; models and/or tools; innovative concepts for interpreting environmental data; or other alternative, science-based approaches to environmental risk assessment.

Il premio ammonta a 100.000 euro.

Le domande devono essere presentate entro il 18 marzo 2011.

I tre finalisti saranno premiati il 14 giugno 2011 al Sofitel Brussels Europe Hotel.
