| Description | COSMOS - a European Union project developing methods for determining the safety of cosmetic ingredients for humans, without the use of animals, using computational models. COSMOS was one of seven projects forming the SEURAT-1 cluster, SEURAT being a European research initiative with the long-term goal of achieving "Safety Evaluation Ultimately Replacing Animal Testing". The project ran from January 2011 - December 2015. |
