EUROTOX Mission

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.

BHMF FUND

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.

How to Become ERT?

First, some questions:

Are you currently working in toxicology?
Do you possess the expected academic training and practical experience? (see paper: Fowler & Galli)
Have you a preferred National Register?
Do you have sponsors, prepared to support your application to the chosen National Register, in writing?

If the answer is yes to all the above, request application forms from the National Register in question, complete the forms, gain the support of your sponsors and submit your application.

If the answer is no, then take steps to amend your CV until it is compliant with the needs of ‘ERT’.

If you need advice, for example, choice of National Register or how to rectify deficiencies in your CV, you may contact the EUROTOX Registration Sub-Committee Chair Prof. Mumtaz Iscan at mumtaz.iscan@pharmacy.ankara.edu.tr

When you gain admittance to a EUROTOX-approved National Register, they will advise EUROTOX and your name will be placed on the ERT list. In due course you will receive an ERT certificate, which will remain valid for as long as you remain in good standing with your chosen National Register.
