PARC aims to develop next-generation chemical risk assessment to protect human health and the environment.

Background and aim of the project

PARC is an initiative of the European Union (EU), launched in Paris on 11 May 2022 and is a 7 year partnership (until 2029) under Horizon Europe

The overall aim of PARC is to develop next-generation chemical risk assessment to protect human health and the environment. It supports the EU's chemicals strategy for sustainability and the European Green Deal's "Zero pollution" ambition with new data, knowledge, methods and tools, expertise and networks.

It has a total funding volume of €400 million, 50% funded by the European Union and 50% by the Research Council of Norway (RCN), of which NMBU is funded with. NMBU participates in Development of sensitive quantiative NP/MP analytical methods (KBM) and in Novel approach methods (NAMs) for neurotoxicity, neuroendocrine, and reproductive testing (VET)
