This webinar will explore how Echa supports scientists and product development leaders to leverage the wealth of information that is and has been generated around Reach to accelerate innovation.
The webinar will cover the data and tools that are currently available and have proven to be of benefit to innovation leaders. Among these is the OECD QSAR tool that utilises molecular and test data to predict properties for new compounds, especially in the context of substitution of undesirable chemicals.
During this webinar you will learn:
- what type of data and which tools are used to accelerate innovation
- how these data and tools can be used in terms of sustainable product development
- how substitution of chemicals can be achieved in a fast and robust manner using Reach data and how Echa assists companies in this strategy in particular
This webinar is brought in association with BIOVIA, Dassault Systèmes, with a guest speaker from Echa.
