Submitted by stefan.brandmaier on Tue, 12/07/2010 - 13:54
First Cadaster workshop was organized in Maribor, Slovenia, as a part of CMPTI conference (http://cmtpi-2011.si) and took place from September 1st to 2nd 2011. Workshop aims were to assist the risk assessors and national chemicals authorities, particular in Eastern European countries, with the use of the QSAR tools for the risks assessments in REACH.
The agenda was as follows:
Thursday, 1st September
| Time | Topic | Speaker | 13:30-14:00 | General philosophy of Cadaster | Dr. Willie Peijnenburg, RIVM, The Netherlands |

Friday, 2nd September
| Time | Topic | Speaker |
|---|---|---|
| 09:00-09:30 | State of the art in QSAR modeling | Dr. Alex Tropsha, University of North Carolina, USA |

Dr. Paola Gramatica, University of Insubria, Italy Dr. Tomas Oberg, Linnaeus University, Sweden Dr. Igor Tetko, HMGU, Germany |
| 10:50-11:20 | Coffee Break | |
| 11:20-13:00 | Training lessons for on-line tools that can be used to estimate REACH end- points for chemical compounds and thus decrease the number of animal tests Demonstration of tools developed in Cadaster See tutorial here |
Dr. Igor Tetko, HMGU, Germany |
| 13:00-14:30 | Lunch Break | |
| 14:30-16:00 | Training lessons for on-line tools that can be used to estimate REACH end- points for chemical compounds and thus decrease the number of animal tests OECD QSAR Toolbox and CADASTER |
Dr. Emil Rorije, RIVM, The Netherlands |
| 16:00-17:00 | Panel Discussion | Dr. Willie Peijnenburg, RIVM, The Netherlands |
The feed-back of workshop participants will be very important for the customisation of the tools for the use by the regulatory agencies.
