ii) Assess the impact of challenges and blockers (see objective 4.i, above) for EFSA’s vision as defined in the theme paper (Annex 5); 

iii) Explore feasible alternatives to overcome challenges and blockers (see objective 4.i, above). 

iv) Explore if the outcome of objective 2, 3 and 4 result in a revised problem formulation for the implementation of human health risk assessment of combined exposure to multiple chemicals in EFSA assessments previously defined under objective 1, and provide recommendations for integrating the identified gaps (e.g. work areas). 

## Objective 5: Assessing cooperation/collaboration opportunities 

i) Identify opportunities and potential partners (incl. possible consortia), and evaluate means/tools (workshops, conferences, sharing databases etc) for pertinent cooperation/collaboration with potential partners outlined in the theme paper and any additional potential partner identified; 

ii) Perform an analysis of the added value and benefits of pertinent cooperation/collaboration opportunities (see objective 5.i, above), as well as possible challenges of the identified potential partnerships. 

## Objective 6: Prioritising working areas and possible partners 

i) Prioritise/rank working areas based on the outcomes of objectives 1 to 4 above; 

ii) Prioritise/rank key opportunities and possible partners based on the outcomes of objective 5 above; Consider also the Article 36 list of competent organisations 17  dedicated by Member States to assist EFSA with tasks within the field of its mission; 

iii) Based on the information collected and assessed under the other objectives provide a list of possible actions to be implemented by EFSA and at least five high level recommendations for multi-annual, multi-partner studies or projects, each supported by a SWOT or equivalent analysis. 

## Objective 7: Identifying communication opportunities 

i) Identify opportunities for communication along in the area of risk assessment process related to combined exposure to multiple chemicals in human health risk assessment, relying on social research methods and tools that provide societal insights (incl. awareness, understanding, risk perceptions, expectations sentiment analysis). Such insights should be generated to inform any future communication and engagement efforts in this area of work.
