The second Annual Review of the IDEA Project was organized in Luxembourg by DG SANCO (Directorate C, Health) on December 17th, 2014.
On September 23-25, 2014, the second IDEA Workshop on Characterization and Categorization of Fragrance Allergens reunited leading experts discuss the development of a categorization system for allergens (with special consideration of the use of alternatives to animal testing), the development of a robust post-marketing surveillance in order to feed the risk management process and optimize consumer protection and the interaction between allergens and the human body in different exposure scenarios and for different subpopulations.
The 2013 IDEA workshop dedicated to the characterization of fragrance allergens led to the conclusion that time and resources should be spent on the improvement of the communication between the industry and the dermatology community.
On May 13-15, 2014, IDEA brought together leading toxicologists, dermatologists and risk assessment experts in a workshop to discuss their views on the necessary refinements of the Dermal Sensitization QRA and the work already achieved by the industry / the academia.
