See tutorial here
13:00-14:30 Lunch Break
14:30-16:00 Training lessons for on-line tools that can be used to estimate REACH endpoints for chemical compounds and thus decrease the number of animal tests Demonstration of the models available in the OECD QSAR toolbox (Dr. Emil Rorije, RIVM, The Netherlands)
