Future Visions: The new normal chemical landscape - NAMS Roadmap (2023)

As the chemical cosmos is likely to increase, to navigate the future complexities of it, especially with respect to risk assessment, will require the best methodologies available.

The future of food safety assessment of chemicals depends on our adaptability and flexibility whilst using the best scientific methodologies and strategies available in order to respond to the accelerating developments in science and technology.

The future chemical safety landscape will require systems thinking and transdisciplinary collaborations. It will not only require traditional themes but economics, social, training and funding in new areas (such as data capabilities) to focus on gains and benefits these new technologies offer to protect the public.

The vision is to be able to predict risk more rapidly, accurately and efficiently.
