Welcome to the RA-COURSES website

RA-COURSES is a project funded by European Union Marie Curie Actions that provides training in health risk assessment.

Implementation of reliable and efficient risk assessment procedures for the exposure to various types of chemicals is of high concern in Europe today. The number of chemicals in use is increasing and for many of the chemicals little knowledge is available on possible health risks. To meet these needs and interests in EU there is an increasing need for well-educated experts in health risk assessment procedures, who can provide the European public with reliable risk assessment of the adverse health effects of chemicals.

The overall objective of RA-COURSES is to provide a coherent European course programme in health risk assessment. The programme includes 10 courses and provides a comprehensive training covering all aspects needed for future scientists and professionals in European health risk assessment.

RA-COURSES will result in
1) Well-trained experts in risk assessment for European universities, authorities and industry, who will provide the European consumers with reliable risk assessment of the adverse effects of exposure to chemicals;
2) Integration of European universities into an academic infrastructure in the risk assessment knowledge areas;
3) A scientific platform for development and harmonisation of risk assessment procedures in Europe.
