EuCheMS is happy to announce that a policy workshop on Parkinson’s disease will be held at the European Parliament under the chairmanship of MEP Pavel Poc, co-organised with the EFMC. The workshop will seek to provide a detailed and sound understanding of Parkinson’s disease, as well as a look into possible treatments and how the EU can help boost such research. It will moreover look at the recent controversy surrounding the European Commission’s decision to discount the European Food Safety Agency’s (EFSA) statement on the dangers of the diquat herbicide – the latter which could be a cause of Parkinson’s disease. Dates soon to be announced, so keep an eye on this space!

10 – 14 June
Gargnano, Italy
