SUMMARY:Workshop on ”Materials and Technologies enabling 3D Models for standardised in-vitro toxicology studies”
DESCRIPTION:During this event\,  three presentations of ALTERNATIVE partners and Sister Project LIFESAVER are planned. \nThe workshop will take place in Politecnico di Torino. The main goal this event is to showcase intermediate ALTERNATIVE results to regulators\, researchers\, industry and other stakeholders\, initiating a dialogue with them about their requirements for exploiting ALTERNATIVE outcomes. \nThe event also stimulates the creation of a cluster of researchers/institutes which will collaborate in the advancement of 3D models\, through different competences. \nThe draft programme is attached. \n \nContributors are: \nElvesys\, which is also partner in the sister project “LIFESAVER”\, so they will present the advancement of their work in both projects. \nInvited researchers active in the field of tissue/organ modeling: some of these are currently leading projects funded by EU \nALTERNATIVE advisory board\, Valerie Zuang\,(JRC) and Isabella De Angelis (Istituto Superiore di Sanità) \n  \nKeywords: \nresearch and innovation networks\, regulation of chemicals

SUMMARY:Webinar on “Evaluation of chemical-induced cardiotoxicity: challenges and progress”
DESCRIPTION:Brief summary:  (purpose\, learnings and how it supports the ALTERNATIVE) \nThe objectives of this webinar are to raise awareness about the cardiotoxicity induced by environmental chemicals and to highlight the challenges/knowledge gaps in assessing cardiotoxicity for regulatory purposes. Additionally\, the non-animal based methods that are being developed in H2020 European project ALTERNATIVE and their collective regulatory acceptance in light of current difficulties will be presented and discussed. We anticipate audiences from a wide range of areas and inputs received during the discussion session will be used to effectively realize the ultimate goal of the project ALTERNATIVE\, which is to develop a novel platform to detect the cardiotoxicity of chemicals in a robust and cost effective manner. \nAgenda: \n\nEpidemiological evidence for cardiotoxicity induced by chemicals (20 min)\nThe ALTERNATIVE project and regulatory uptake of ALTERNATIVE platform (30 min)\nComputational tools to assess cardiotoxicity (20 min)\nNext steps and discussion (20 min)\n\nSpeakers/collaborating partners \nDr. Nunzia Linzalone (Institute of Clinical Physiology\, Italy) \nDr.Martin Paparella (Medical University Innsbruck\, Austria) \nDr. Alexandra Schaffert (Medical University Innsbruck\, Austria) \nMr. Edoardo Luca Vigano’ (Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research\, Italy) \nDr.Birgit Mertens (Sciensano) \nDr. Sivakumar Murugadoss (Sciensano) \nWho should attend this:  regulatory and scientific experts in the fields of risk assessment\, environmental health\, epidemiology\, toxicology\, cardiology\, new approach methods\, next generation risk assessment \nregistration link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/evaluation-of-chemical-induced-cardiotoxicity-challenges-and-progress-tickets-531905061357

SUMMARY:ALTERNATIVE contributes to a session at EUSAAT conference 2022\, 26-28. September
DESCRIPTION:ALTERNATIVE contributes to a session on” Non-Animal-Methods for cardiac toxicity” at EUSAAT conference. This session will be co-charied by Martin Paparella (Medical University Innsbruck/Austria)\, Birgit Mertens (Sciensano/Belgium). This annual congress provides an opportunity to share scientific experience on alternatives to animal use in the life sciences\, to get updated on the EU 3Rs policy and to discuss new concepts of implementing the 3Rs in academic education at the European and the international level. \n\nSession-Abstract: Although there is increasing scientific evidence that environmental chemicals may contribute to cardiovascular diseases\, cardiotoxicity is not yet specifically assessed for regulatory toxicology. Recent advances in 2D and 3D cardiac model development including molecular and functional read outs\, as well as computational approaches to cardiac specific toxicity assessment and kinetic modelling pave the way for the development of Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment (IATAs). These need to be mechanistically qualified via Adverse Outcome Pathways. This session will provide an overview on the current development of new methods and approaches for cardiac toxicity. \nMore information at:https://eusaat.eu/

SUMMARY:ALTERNATIVE contributes to XVIth International Congress of Toxicology in Maastricht\, the Netherlands\, from September 18 to 21\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:This congress is jointly organized by the International Union of Toxicology (IUTOX) and the European Society of Toxicology (EUROTOX). It brings together the best toxicological scientists worldwide in the historical city of Maastricht\, Netherlands. \nThe programme will have well-balanced inputs from academia\, industry and regulators and will challenge participants to interact and participate in lively debates and discussions. In a smaller side-programme the aim is to step out of the regular conference setting to unite in local pubs and bars with citizens and international students and discuss how toxicological research can contribute to safe products\, environmental protection and a more sustainable society. \nFurther information on the event is available on the ICT 2022 website. \nALTERNATIVE is planning to contribute to the programme.

SUMMARY:ALTERNATIVE Partners from the National Research Council Of PISA will present “Protocol of the systematic review at the XLV Congress of the Italian Association of Epidemiology”
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Clinical Physiology\, National Research Council (CNR) of Pisa will participate at the XLV Congress of the Italian Association of Epidemiology (IAE) “Decision-making in a context of uncertainty: the role of epidemiology” will take place in Padua from 29 June to 01 July 2022 (https://www.epidemiologia.it/xlvi-convegno-aie-2022/). This congress intends to reflect on the role that epidemiology has played and can and must play in orienting decisions – at different levels – towards the promotion of public health without escaping the challenge of the complexity of the phenomena but rather equipping itself to recognize (and dealing with) the theme of uncertainty. \n \nDuring the three-day event\, CNR team members will present the systematic review and meta-analysis protocol in an electronic poster format. This review aims to provide a sound basis for selecting toxic chemicals and pollutants to contribute with the epidemiological evidence to the in-vitro testing protocol within the EU-funded ALTERNATIVE Project. \nIn this context\, the team will exchange ideas and information on the ALTERNATIVE project\, focusing on the specific research questions and the knowledge gap\, which the systematic review will address.
