EUROTOX's view regarding the current situation of academic toxicology in Europe

The Federation of European Toxicologists & European Societies of Toxicology EUROTOX is deeply concerned about the current situation in academia and how it will impact on the future of Toxicology in Europe. Departments of Toxicology in universities are shrinking or disappearing. Toxicology as an academic discipline is essential to protect the health of consumers, workers and the environment. Strengthening toxicology in academic institutions is a basic requirement for scientific innovation and for the education and development of young scientists.

The Executive Committee of EUROTOX would like to bring to your attention our recently published position paper highlighting the challenging issues facing academic toxicology in Europe.
