The International Congress of Toxicology is a joined meeting of IUTOX and EUROTOX (www.ict2022.com) organized by the Netherlands Society of Toxicology. The theme of the 2022 ICT “Uniting in Toxicology”, reflects our desire to address topics dealing with different disciplines. Submit your scientific proposals via the submission platform making sure to include the organiser details, the recommended speakers, and a brief presentation for the proposal.
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SCIENTIFIC PROPOSALS
- Submit your scientific proposals via the submission platform making sure to include the organiser details, the recommended speakers, and a brief presentation for the proposal.
- Proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Scientific excellence of the proposed individual talks and the session overall.
- Relevance of the topic of the Symposium to the overall theme of ICT XVI.
- Balance of the scientific content with respect to the utility and relevance of the information presented for improving human and environmental health in countries with both robust and developing research and regulatory enterprises.
- Speaker diversity with respect to the geographical area represented, gender, and sector (government, industry, academia, other).
- Availability of support for speaker travel to ICT XVI. [This criterion is not a requirement, but a strong encouragement.]
- The Congress Organization strongly encourages interaction between Academia-Industry-Regulators and interdisciplinary approaches (basic research, clinical/epidemiological, regulation) therefore we ask that you make every effort to include speakers from all mentioned organizations.
