We are pleased to announce that the 1st International Endocrine Disruptor Conference on the Island of Ireland will be held online via Microsoft Teams over 15-16 June 2021.
This conference will explore the global issue of endocrine disruptors and will bring together all 15 Early Stage Researchers from the EU funded project. This event will provide an ideal platform for this talented new generation of experts to share their important findings and initiate new collaborations and ideas.
This conference will also host a complimentary selection of internationally renowned speakers on the subject of endocrine disruptors. We expect that this event will promote fruitful discussion and generate new ideas for solving the global threat of endocrine disruptors.
