Help us improve robust study summaries

We have launched a survey to identify ways to improve the study summary formats developed at the OECD level. The aim is to simplify and enhance the current format and make the study summaries more trustworthy and useful. This could, for example, help speeding up hazard assessment.

Give us your feedback as an experienced author, evaluator and any other user of study summaries for chemical hazard assessment. Survey is available until 18 November 2021.
