Press Releases
- Plant protection products
SAPEA (Science Advice for Policy by European Academies) has published its third Evidence Review Report titled Improving authorisation processes for plant protection products in Europe: a scientific perspective on the assessment of potential risks to human health. The report examines the methods and procedures for assessing potential harmful effects on human health from the use of Plant Protection Products (PPPs), and the ways in which the current authorisation processes could be improved from a scientific perspective.
- Carbon capture and utilisation
SAPEA has published its second Evidence Review Report titled Novel Carbon Capture and Utilisation Technologies: research and climate aspects. The report explores whether Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies have the potential to contribute significantly to mitigating the effects of climate change.
- ALLEA
A statement published today by ALLEA (All European Academies), responds to the increase of multinational inventions resulting from international cooperation in research and development, and the implications for the legal framework under which those inventions are managed and protected.
SAPEA adheres to the communications strategy of the Scientific Advice Mechanism.
