8th SPRINT newsletter out now!
The latest bumper edition of the SPRINT newsletter is out now!
The team are busier than ever writing reports and papers on our findings. We had a successful review meeting in Brussels, which offered a great opportunity to gain feedback from the European Commission and DG Santé and to further explain our research approach and findings relating to #Pesticides and #PlantProtectionProducts.
We’ll be heading back to Brussels for our final meeting soon, where we’ll be welcoming stakeholders and policymakers to contribute to the co-development of science led policy recommendations. The next few months promise to be a whirlwind of activity at SPRINT, and we are wholeheartedly looking forward to it!
For more about our recent activities, including new research on pesticide reduction strategies on-farm, transition success stories, tips on how to minimise your exposure to pesticides in indoor dust, and an exclusive behind the scenes glimpse of the committees that are the backbone of the project, dive into the newsletter here.

SPRINT visit to the EU in Brussels!
SPRINT have been to Brussels for our latest review meeting at the European Commission! 🌍
This periodic review meeting offered a great opportunity to gain feedback from the European Commission and DG Sante and to further explain our research approach and findings relating to #Pesticides and #PlantProtectionProducts.
We left feeling motivated to continue our efforts to make our research impactful and excited for the final year of our project.
