Supporting the Cefic Long-range Research Initiative (LRI) Cefic LRI Projects under ECETOC Management Since the establishment of the Cefic Long-range Research Initiative (LRI) programme in 1998, ECETOC has been a partner organisation with 3 Key Leadership Roles: Project Proposals These proposals are based on the ability of ECETOC to have multi-stakeholder (industry, regulatory bodies and academia) dialogue and consultation. Project Selection When proposals are received by LRI to address specific projects, ECETOC organises selection teams and, by following a transparent and impartial process, identifies the proposal considered to be the most worthy for receiving LRI funding. Project Management An ECETOC Monitoring Team follows the progress of each LRI project providing help and guidance to the researchers as requested. For more information on the LRI, visit their website. Publications The main output of ECETOC's work programme is published in a range of reports that are peer-reviewed by its Scientific Committee, comprising industry and academic experts.
