NORMAN General Assembly meeting 2023
December 7, 2023 | 9h00-20h00 CET
December 8, 2023 | 9h00-13h00 CET
The General Assembly meeting is the annual event where NORMAN's 90+ member organisations meet up to present the on-going activities and discuss their visions for future science-to-policy activities in synergy with other projects and networks. To maximise the exchanges and make the most of this special moment in an informal atmosphere, we will organise two Word Café sessions. Moreover, this year the GA meeting will be organised back-to-back to the NORMAN Workshop on “Innovative Approaches for Environmental Monitoring of Chemical Pollution and Biodiversity” (hybrid), 6 December. This is a public event open also to external participants.
From 9h00 to 18h00 (CET)
Pitch presentations, 10 min per WG + 5 min questions on the essential points: achievements and future plans (extensive time will be devoted in the World Café of day 2 for discussion of the WG projects)

WG2 Bioassays (Henner Hollert, Goethe University of Frankfurt)
WG3 Effect Directed Analysis for identification of hazardous contaminants (Melis Mus-Massei, UFZ; Frederic Béen, VU)
WG4 Nano-and micro scale particulate contaminants (Ralf Kägi, Eawag; Bert van Bavel, NIVA)
WG5 Water reuse and policy support (Geneviève Deviller, DERAC; Lian Lundy, LTU)
WG6: Emerging substances in the indoor environment (Lisa Melymuk, RECETOX, Pim Leonards, VU; Adrian Covaci, Antwerp University)
WG8 CEC in the Marine environment (Fiona Regan, DCU; Brendan McHugh, Marine Institute)
PS-CWG: Cross-Working Group Activity Passive Sampling (Ian Allan, NIVA; Cécile Miège, INRAE)

Key messages from the NORMAN Database Workshop (26-27 Oct, Athens) (Jaroslav Slobodnik, EI)
Discussion
Participants are free to visit the different corners to exchange ideas on the proposed topics. The outcomes will provide precious input for the finalization of the NORMAN JPA 2024 and beyond
From 09h00 - 13h00 (CET)
Workshop on “AI for environmental monitoring and assessment of chemicals and their mixtures” (Jan Koschorreck, UBA)
NORMAN and Joint Danube Survey 5 (Jaroslav Slobodnik, EI)
TerraChem: From soils to apex species: chemical pathways, effects and impacts on terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem services and applications for better chemicals management (Jaroslav Slobodnik, EI)
Assessing the spectral quality and diagnostic information of MS2 data acquired with LC-ESI-HRMS (Frederic Béen, VU)
Integration of computational toxicity driver prioritization tools to support non-target screening workflows in high-throughput effect-directed analysis (Melis Muz-Massei, UFZ)
Microplastic spiked soda tablets and sandwich filters as promising approaches for round robin testing (Ralf Kägi, Eawag)
Exchange ideas among Working Groups: people will be free to circulate from one discussion corner to the other; discussion with the “visitors” will stimulate new ideas and proposals for cross-linking activities between the WGs.
