In the conference, several of RECETOX’s partners in the URBAN_X project (Roel Vermeulen and Martine Vrijheid) will speak in a session titled “Filling the knowledge gaps on exposure to pollution: a holistic approach with the Human Exposome Network”. Furthermore, a virtual exhibition hall will display interesting projects related to the Zero Pollution Ambition, in which you will be able to ask questions, download documents, view video clips, and speak with the exhibitors.
