We have transitioned FLUOROS 2021 to FLUOROS Global 2021, an event that consists of a series of regionally held half-day themed PFAS events that showcase state of the art PFAS knowledge and demonstrates the global dimension of PFAS contamination as well as the ongoing and needed research to address the ubiquity of the problem. By holding a compact series of regional meetings around the globe including the continents of North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, FLUOROS Global 2021 will also demonstrate a less-travel intensive way of achieving global collaboration as well as lessons in global cooperation. COVID-19, climate change, and PFAS are all prime examples of how international scientific collaboration is needed to address problems that do not respect national boundaries. Cooperative efforts are critical to our future as a global community.
