FOOTPRINT at Piacenza 2007

A total of 13 FOOTPRINT partners attended the XIII Symposium on Pesticide Chemistry in Piacenza on 3-6 September 2007, a key event in the field of pesticide fate and risk assessment.

FOOTPRINT benefited from a display stand and a series of talks were given in a FOOTPRINT special session.
