9 September 2025 | Leipzig, Germany

The ENKORE Cluster held its Annual Meeting on 9 September 2025 at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig. The hybrid event brought together partners from across the cluster to review over the past year of collaborative work, exchange scientific insights and outline priorities for the next phase.

The meeting opened with remarks from A. Mulet Indrayanti of the European Commission, followed by an overview of the cluster’s strategic direction and presentations from the participating projects: HYPIEND, ENDOMIX, EDC MASLD, MERLON and NEMESIS. Partners and members of the Independent Advisory Panel joined a short introduction round to set the stage for discussions.

During the meeting, the five Working Groups shared high level updates on their ongoing activities, reflected on progress made so far and discussed next steps for strengthening joint work across the cluster.

The afternoon focused on broader discussion. Partners considered shared challenges, opportunities for closer scientific cooperation and how ENKORE’s work can support ongoing conversations on endocrine disrupting chemicals and regulatory developments in Europe.

Thank you to all ENKORE partners and advisory panel members who joined the meeting and contributed to the discussions.
