PARC was launched in May 2022. The partnership aims to establish an EU-wide research and innovation programme supporting the EU and national chemical risk assessment/management authorities and processes with new data, knowledge, methods and skills to address current, emerging and novel chemical safety challenges.
In line with the Green Deal’s zero-pollution ambition for a toxic free environment, and the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability the partnership will facilitate the transition to the next generation of risk assessment to better protect human health and the environment.
Core activities of the Horizon 2020 European Joint Programme HBM4EU will be pursued under PARC in the wider context of chemical risk assessment.

VITO plays a prominent role as member of the governing board of the partnership & as co-lead PARC's work package 7 'FAIR data'. The partnership website indicates that 'WP7 will strengthen exchange and reuse of research and regulatory data. For this, WP7 will interact with all the WPs to facilitate the access, storage and analysis of data, and the interfacing with the modelling and analysis tools developed by the other WPs. It will work on data and metadata harmonisation as well as on the FAIR data policies. Furthermore, it will develop innovative tools for analysing increasing amounts of data and their uncertainty. This WP is co-led by VITO (Belgium) and UOB (United Kingdom).' Find out more here.
There are several other Flemish organisations involved as affiliated enitities: Ghent University; Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries & Food (ILVO); Provincial Insistute of Hygiene (Provincie Antwerpen); University of Antwerp; Public Waste Agency of Flanders (OVAM); University of Leuven; Hasselt University; Flemish Department for the Environment & Spacial Planning; Free University of Brussels

Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
