SoBRA: When & why?
SoBRA was established in December 2009 and has since held annual conferences each December, alongside a series of summer workshops. More recently, the organisation has also run events aimed at early-career professionals.
Members can access slides and recent video presentations from the annual conferences and summer workshops via the presentations page. Proceedings reports from the summer workshops are available on the reports page, although some reports and presentations are restricted to members.
SoBRA also has a number of sub-groups that focus on specific issues related to risk assessment. One such group is the Accreditation Sub Group, established to explore a potential role for SoBRA in providing accreditation for risk assessors working in areas including human health and controlled waters. The SoBRA accreditation scheme was launched in July 2016.
In addition, SoBRA offers several funding options to members to support research and to further knowledge in land contamination risk assessment within the UK.
