How to become an ERT
Procedure to apply for ERT recognition
The title European Registered Toxicologist (ERT) is accorded by EUROTOX to individuals who have been nominated by their National Register. EUROTOX does not directly register individual toxicologists. Applications for recognition as ‘ERT’ must be directed to a National Registry.
Registration is performed by a two-step procedure:
- First, national registration boards in Europe evaluate applications of candidates according to a consensual process described in the ERT Guidelines for Registration and admit successful applicants to the national register.
- Second, upon request of the national register, EUROTOX will register these individuals in the EUROTOX ERT register, and issue a certificate as EUROPEAN REGISTERED TOXICOLOGIST (ERT).
List of national registers
Please contact Prof. João Paulo Teixeira (Email: jpft12 [at] gmail.com) EUROTOX Registration/ERT SubCommittee Chair, for assistance in identifying an appropriate register, or a route to eventual registration.
