Join us at this one-off conference to discover how you can drive real progress in:
- more realistic risk assessments of pesticides - for advanced health and environmental protection
- the transition towards sustainable plant protection
In the largest study of its kind, SPRINT has spent the past 5 years producing extensive new evidence on pesticides’ health and environmental effects and their fate, and viable routes to more sustainable systems of plant protection.
As it draws to a close, the EU Horizon 2020-funded project is now excited to share its key findings and approaches with you at this 1-day event in Brussels.
What to expect from the conference
