EUROTOX aims to foster toxicology, both scientifically and educationally, in all countries of Europe. To this, EUROTOX organises an annual scientific congress, workshops, and postgraduate training courses.
EUROTOX is actively harmonising toxicology education and training, having established the European Register of Toxicologists in 1994.
Furthermore EUROTOX honours annually a distinguished European toxicologist by its Merit Award. Young toxicologists are encouraged by the annual Young Scientist Award, which is awarded every year to the best presentation at the EUROTOX Congress.
To honour Professor Bo Holmstedt, the Bo Holmstedt Memorial Fund (BHMF), in collaboration with EUROTOX, has established the Bo Holmstedt Memorial Lecture to be presented to an outstanding European Toxicologist at the EUROTOX Annual Congress meeting. The foundation is also supporting the Paracelcus symposium at the annual meeting. Bo Holmstedt's great interest in the teaching of toxicology and supported research in developing countries, a travelling lecture fellowship has also been established to allow a toxicologist from a developing country to spent some time in a European laboratory or regulatory agency.

Every year, EUROTOX funds Basic and Advanced Toxicology courses in collaboration with Member Societies to promote both basic and advanced training in toxicology and educational resources available to countries of Central and Eastern Europe at minimal cost. The courses consist of 10 lectures, 9 problem solving/discussion sessions in small groups and 4 plenary meetings. The lecturers are from different countries of the EUROTOX organization as well as from local host societies. They are selected according to their experience in teaching basic and advanced toxicology and options to spend this week from together with course participants. There will be a written examination at the end of the course and those participants who pass the exam will be given a certificate. Other participants will be given a certificate of attendance.
Basic and advanced one week courses for 2012 will be announced shortly.
