RISK ASSESSMENT SCIENCE IN CONTEXT

New opportunities

• New tools (e.g. omics,machine learning,social media)

• New agriculturalproducts (e.g. RNAi-based PPP/GM plants)

• Novel foods (e.g.insects, nutritionally-enhanced foods,artificial foods)

• Capacity building &sharingexpertise/knowledge

• Better understandingof public perception

New challenges

• New complexities &uncertainties (e.g.new hazards, big data,open data)

• New emerging risks(e.g. micro andnanoplastics in food)

• Expertise (e.g. biases,framing issues, braindrain)

• Effectivelycommunicating risk

• Proportionate &globally harmoniseddata requirements

New trends

• Consumer behaviour• Policy• Reduce animal testing

(e.g. 3Rs)• Increase public

participation• Promote sustainability

goals• Democratisation of

science (e.g.alternative facts, post-truth era, growingmistrust in science)

• Blooming social media
