On 7 July 2023 EFSA launched a call for proposals to address different needs related to the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) of Plant Protection Products (PPP). The aim is to establish a framework for the collection and generation of data to progress on the integration of species ecology and landscape features in the risk assessment, to gain knowledge on the environmental exposure to pesticides for different application scenarios, and to identify novel strategies and tools for assessing potential pesticides effects at higher levels of biological organisation, i.e., at population and community levels, with a focus on terrestrial ecotoxicology.
