IDSTEIN, GERMANY
The ITN (Innovative Training Network) PERFORCE3 (PER and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) towards the Future Of Research and its Communication in Europe 3) is a multi-partner research training programme in the field of PFASs contaminants coordinated by Stockholm University and funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action grant agreement 860665. As the ITN PERFORCE3 reaches its final stages, this symposium will display the research carried out by its 15 PhD students.
Three general areas of PFAS research will be covered in thematic sessions: “Analytical Tools and Exposure science”, “Toxicology and epidemiology”, and “Solutions”.
