With great pleasure, the Belgian Society of Toxicology and Ecotoxicology (BelTox) will organize the 54th Congress of the European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX 2018) from 2 to 5 September, 2018, in Brussels.

Besides three universities, Brussels hosts many stakeholders in toxicological sciences such as the EU institutions, ILSI Europe, ECETOC, and numerous industry trade associations. Several chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are located in Belgium. Brussels can easily be reached by airplane, train and by car. The SQUARE, a modern convention centre located in the heart of the city’s business and cultural district, is in walking distance to many hotels of different categories.

Our theme for 2018 is “Toxicology Out of the Box”. It reflects our willingness and enthusiasm to offer a really innovative, forward-looking and imaginative scientific programme. We will offer attractive lectures and sessions with well-balanced inputs from academia, industry and regulators. We have the knowhow and capacity to cater to your every need, and the city and its environment offer a wealth of opportunities for excursions, gastronomy and leisure activities.
