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
