• 12h15 – 12h30: NTS-CWG: Cross-Working Group Activity Non-target screening (Juliane Hollender, Eawag)

• Current status and perspectives for further development (Jaroslav Slobodnik, EI)

Questions

• New developments in chemicals and environmental regulation: needs and challenges (Sara Johansson, European Environmental Bureau)

Questions

• Enhancing data sharing and use: the role of NORMAN in achieving the goals of the EU Data Common Platform; how NGOs could benefit from NORMAN databases, NGOs questions?)
• Effective collaboration with NGOs (e.g. ChemSec; ChemTrust; Environmental health Alliance; PFAS, PAN, Microplastics….): importance, benefits, challenges, and actions
• Substance prioritisation needs (leaching of plastic additives, tire-borne water contaminants, PFAS)
• Citizen’s science (are there simple test schemes that could be developed and implemented in collaboration with NGOs?)
• Communicating on emerging risks: Science to Citizens vs Science to policy? (related to our role, our capacity)
• New tools for monitoring the ocean - including citizen science

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 2025 and beyond

• Voting of the Financial and Activity report 2023
• Reporting to GA on financial issues 2023 (Treasurer, Gunnar Thorsen, IVL)

• PARC partnership : current activities and perspectives (Pascal Sanders, ANSES)

Questions

• Feedback from the Workshop on “Artificial Intelligence for environmental monitoring and assessment of chemicals and their mixtures” (Jan Koschorreck, UBA; Werner, UFZ and Juliane Hollender, Eawag)
• NORMAN and Joint Danube Survey 5 (Igor Liska, ICPDR; Jaroslav Slobodnik, EI)
• Wastewater Epidemiology and indoor dust (Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern, University of Bath)
• Non-target screening of airborne organic substances in PDMS-foam passive samplers: NORMAN Trial (Adrià Sunyer Caldú, Stockholm University)

To be completed with input from the members.

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.

Suggested topics:

• Advances in High-throughput EDA
• Soil and terrestrial environment
• Databases, new structure of the NDS, opportunities and challenges for NORMAN members? Enhancing the potential of the NORMAN databases? Data in support of environmental modelling?
• Next steps for AI in NORMAN?
• Harmonization in nontarget screening, next steps after the NORMAN guidance document (use by regulators, ISO Group on NTS for water quality, alignment with BP4NTA)
• NORMAN and PARC, proposals for collaborative activities
