Symposium Tracks
Our modern, science-driven program is divided into three essential tracks, unified by their relevance and global impact:
Track 1: Everyday Exposure
This track explores the science behind how people use and experience fragrance on a daily basis. We’ll connect the dots between your favorite products and the underlying data and research that ensures safety. You’ll explore the latest science on human exposure data and real-world fragrance usage.
Track 2: Enduring Environmental Safety
Discover RIFM’s legacy and continuous innovation in protecting the planet. This track covers updated frameworks, New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), and robust ecological risk assessment. Discover how we harness a passion for nature and ecosystems, combined with data and technology, to promote environmental sustainability.
Track 3: Science in Action
Science is a tool for progress. This track highlights how RIFM supports the global fragrance community. Explore the transparent maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) values that provide the scientific basis for the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Standards and see how RIFM’s tools empower creativity and informed decision-making worldwide.
