The European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV) is the leading organisation in Europe that
strengthens the scientific network of
in vitro toxicologists and
promotes
in vitro toxicology, both scientifically and educationally
in all countries of Europe. This web site will give information on the activities
of ESTIV in the field of in vitro toxicology and of alternatives to animal
experimentation.
Since the first European Meeting (International Workshop on the
Application of Tissue Culture in Toxicology, July 1980, Soesterberg, The
Netherlands),
in vitro toxicology has aroused increasing interest
in Europe, and a new scientific community has developed within this field.
In some countries, new scientific societies or research institutes dedicated
to in vitro toxicology have been founded.
Formally established in 1994, ESTIV is a society that aims to
.
- Promote in vitro and in silico toxicology scientifically and educationally
- Encourage research and use of 3R alternative methodologies
- Advance education and training of in vitro and in silico toxicology
- Foster scientific exchange on in vitro and in silico toxicology
- Strengthen the scientific network and facilitate communication between academia, industry and regulators
- Cooperate with similar organizations and societies
ESTIV's activities encompass:
- The well established ESTIV Congresses organized every even year,
- The organization of applied and practical educational and training courses
- The organization and promotion of scientific workshops on a regular basis,
- Distribution on a regular basis of information on in vitro and in silico toxicology
- Support to similar organizations and societies at a worldwide level
