🔬 Pepper 2025: Call for Endocrine Disruption Test Methods 🔬

Every year, Pepper supports the validation of innovative test methods for endocrine disruption — and the 2025 selection round is now open!

We invite public and private laboratories to submit methods that:
✅ Demonstrate high technological maturity (solid written protocol and sufficient data — see ReadEDtest)
✅ Address regulatory needs (especially for modes of action currently lacking validated tests)
✅ Fit into integrated assessment strategies
✅ Show strong potential for dissemination across laboratories
✅ Present no legal or logistical barriers

🚫 Please note:

• In silico methods
• Methods outside the 3R framework
• Methods already undergoing validation
• Methods duplicating existing validated tests
  are not eligible.

📅 Deadline for submission: 31 August 2025
🗓 Selection: October 2025 (by the Pepper Relevance Committee) 💡
