For discussion during workshopFor discussion during workshop
• Do we see the same picture ?• Do we use the same terms ?
• Willing to listen to expert experiences
• Ways for using WISE in support of:• EU policies and assessments on chemicals /
hazardous substances• Inclusion of results from R&D activities
• Dissemination of results of your work
