Welcome to the 2021 SWACCS workshop that will be held in Gothenburg in collaboration with the Centre for Future Chemical Risk Assessment and Management Strategies (FRAM) at the University of Gothenburg. The theme of this year’s workshop is “Chemicals in our waters – What research is needed to secure a clean water environment and safe drinking water for the year 2099?”
The workshop will focus on group discussions addressing future needs in the monitoring of chemicals in waters and the biological effects of these chemicals. Representatives from Swedish associations and agencies; Swedish water (Svenskt vatten), the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (Havs och Vattenmyndigheten), and the Swedish Food Agency (Livsmedelsverket), will give their views on the topic. Researchers will present ongoing research. The main aim of the workshop is to discuss if we are focusing on the most serious problems regarding chemicals in waters and what gaps need to be filled.
The meeting will be organized as a hybrid meeting so most parts will be possible to join digitally. On the evening of December 15:th, there will be a workshop dinner, at your own expense, for mingle and a long-awaited get together.

NOTE: there is a limited number of seats covered by the FRAM centre so please register directly to ensure your free registration to the workshop.
