HESI Global TEA Symposium

The HESI Global Committee on Transforming the Evaluation of Agrochemicals (TEA Committee) will host a one-day symposium on the challenges of Pesticide Evaluation in Latin America on August 26 in Lima, Peru. This event will bring together regulators from across the region, along with stakeholders from industry and academia, to explore the scientific and regulatory challenges associated with the safety assessment of plant protection products in Latin America.

Participants will discuss region-specific hurdles and opportunities for improving agrochemical risk assessment, with a focus on how the TEA Committee’s framework can be adapted to support local needs. The symposium also presents a valuable opportunity for capacity building in the region, supported by HESI’s Global Risk Assessment Training Center (GRATC).

This event is being held in conjunction with the SETAC Latin America conference, and the coordination of both meetings has significantly increased interest and participation. SETAC LATAM’s logistical support has been instrumental in the planning of the symposium, and the back-to-back scheduling has encouraged cross-attendance, enriching both events.
