      WC11 stands for “11th World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences 2021”. The Alternative Congress Trust (ACT) started in Baltimore, MD, USA in 1993 the first in a series of world congresses, to be hosted by various countries at two or three-year intervals. Over the years subsequent World Congresses (WC’s) have been organized in Utrecht (The Netherlands), Bologna (Italy), New Orleans (USA), Berlin (Germany), Tokyo (Japan), Rome (Italy), Montreal (Canada), Prague (Czech Republic) and Seattle (USA). The WC11 Virtual Congress online platform will provide a unique place for discussions of the most important topics in the industry and will bring together scientists whose knowledge and experience can be tapped for the participant's benefit.

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
