Promoting the use of in silico methods in industry (LIFE PROSIL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Background The EU REACH Regulation promotes a new vision for handling chemical substances. It requires information from manufacturers and/or importers confirming that chemical substances have been evaluated as safe for the intended use. The use of non-animal alternative methods has been foreseen within REACH. In particular, the use of computational mean ...

Chemical Assessment according to Legislation Enhancing the In silico DOcumentation and Safe use (CALEIDOS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Background REACH (Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 on the registration, evaluation and authorisation of chemicals), which came into force in 2007, sets out a new regulatory regime for chemicals in Europe. It requires manufacturers and importers of chemicals to submit hazard assessments and safe-use information, and it is based on the principle that the use of ch ...

Building bridges between specialists on computational and empirical risk assessment of engineered nanomaterials (NanoBRIDGES)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The project is aimed at creating a worldwide network of research partnerships, including various types of research organizations from EU and third countries, with different profiles (computational and empirical risk assessors), focused on the development of new tools for computational risk assessment of engineered nanoparticles (NPs). The mobility plan, supported by the electronic communication to ...

Alternative Non-Testing methods Assessed for REACH Substances (ANTARES)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Background The EU REACH legislation introduced stricter requirements for the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of new chemicals, with the aim of improving the protection of human health and the environment. With at least 30 000 new chemicals introduced in subsequent years in Europe, it is questionable whether the number of laboratori ...

Risk-based management of chemicals and products in a circular economy at a global scale (RISKCYCLE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Many potentially hazardous compounds are traded as chemicals or incorporated as additives in products. Their release to the environment has been a concern of EC, UNO, WHO and OECD. The discussion of the assessment and management of chemicals and products led to the OECD program Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The World Summit encouraged countries to i ...

"Organising dissemination on Results of projects on Chemical Evaluation, Spreading Techniques for Risk Assessment" (ORCHESTRA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"The project ORCHESTRA has the main aim to disseminate and exploit the European research activities dealing with computer models for the environment. These models have a huge potentiality for dissemination, for their nature, based on information technologies. This area is multidisciplinary, because it deals with environmental science, health, chemistry and information technology. The general impac ...

Development of Freely Available Predictive Models Based on Simple Chemical Descriptors (CHEMPREDICT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2007, End date: Oct 31, 2009,

A system of optimal descriptors for modelling by means of quantitative structure property/activity relationships (QSPR/QSAR) biochemical endpoints will be developed. As representation of molecular structure, hydrogen filled graph (HFG), graph of atomic orbitals (GAO), simplified molecular input line entry system (SMILES), and International Chemical Identifier (InChI) will be examined. The GAO is a ...
