The Bo Holmstedt Memorial Lecture is presented every year during the EUROTOX congress to recognize scientific excellence in the area of toxicological sciences.

Nominations may be submitted by EUROTOX Member Societies, by EUROTOX Speciality Sections, or by at least 3 individual EUROTOX members.

The arguments supporting the nomination together with the curriculum vitae of the candidate and a list of 5 to 10 key publications must be submitted in writing to the Secretary General (secretariar@eurotox.com). 

Normally, nominations are submitted by January of every year.

A list of proposals will be prepared by the Vice-President and the Secretary-General for consideration by the Executive Committee who will select two candidates. The final selection will be made by the BHMF board of directors.
