Exposure modelling in Europe: How to pave the road for the future as part of the European Exposure Science Strategy 2020−2030

Exposure modelling is one of the priority areas of the Strategy on Exposure Science developed by the European chapter of the International Society on Exposure Science (ISES Europe). In a bottom-up approach, exposure modelers active in the fields of occupational, general population and environmental exposure have identified four strategic objectives that are essential for improving the methodology and acknowledgment of exposure modelling, and thereby will support a better understanding for and consideration of exposure science in Europe. These strategic objectives are 1. Improvement of models and tools, 2. Development of new methodology and support for understudied research fields, 3. Improvement of model use (the human factor) and 4. Regulatory needs for exposure modelling. For stakeholders organized in ISES Europe clear actions were defined, such as e.g. the collection of available models and accompanying information in a living document curated and published by ISES Europe and the development of a best-practices handbook, which is planned as a longer-term activity. Alongside these proposed actions, recommendations are made to stakeholders outside ISES Europe, on how they could contribute to achieving the strategic objectives.
