Centered around the inspiring theme, <em>\u201cEnsuring Safety, Advancing Science: Bridging to the Future with NAMs\u201d<\/em> the congress aims to explore the transformative impact of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) in ensuring safety, promoting innovation, and shaping the future of toxicology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The congress will kick off with a pre-congress workshop designed to provide practical insights and foster collaboration across disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attendees can expect a robust scientific program featuring cutting-edge research, keynote lectures from leading experts, and dynamic discussions that emphasize the importance of bridging sectors, technologies, and nations to advance non-animal approaches in science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In keeping with Maastricht&#8217;s reputation as a hub of connectivity and collaboration, the congress will also include industry-sponsored sessions, lunch-and-learn events, and networking opportunities, fostering a spirit of partnership among academia, regulatory bodies, and industry. The post-congress workshops will offer further opportunities to delve deeper into practical applications of NAMs, equipping participants with knowledge and tools to implement innovations in their respective fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The picturesque setting of Maastricht, with its iconic bridges symbolizing connection, reflects the congress\u2019s mission to build bridges between scientific disciplines, stakeholders, and societal needs. Participants are encouraged to visit the ESTIV 2026 Congress website for detailed program information, registration details, and updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The Congress Committees of ESTIV 2026 warmly invite you to join us in Maastricht as we work together to implement NAMs in the future of toxicology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helena Kan\u010f\u00e1rov\u00e1 and Clive Roper<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"block-column is-layout-flow block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1205\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/helena-kandarova-profilovka-1205x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3265\" style=\"width:301px;height:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/helena-kandarova-profilovka-1205x1200.jpg 1205w, https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/helena-kandarova-profilovka-128x128.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/helena-kandarova-profilovka-76x76.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/helena-kandarova-profilovka-454x452.jpg 454w, https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/helena-kandarova-profilovka.jpg 1357w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1205px) 100vw, 1205px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Helena Kan\u010f\u00e1rov\u00e1<br><em>ESTIV President<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Chair of the Organising Committee of the ESTIV 2026 congress<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-column is-layout-flow block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1011\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/clive-headshot-20-jan-22-1011x1200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8351\" style=\"width:253px;height:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/clive-headshot-20-jan-22-1011x1200.jpeg 1011w, https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/clive-headshot-20-jan-22-1294x1536.jpeg 1294w, https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/clive-headshot-20-jan-22-381x452.jpeg 381w, https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/clive-headshot-20-jan-22.jpeg 1431w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1011px) 100vw, 1011px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Clive Roper<br><em>ESTIV Vice-President and Chair of the Scientific Committee of the ESTIV 2026 congress<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"block-heading\">Travel to Maastricht<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"block-column is-layout-flow block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"block-heading\">Book your discounted flight ticket<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-column is-layout-flow block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"block-heading\">Book your hotel<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"block-column is-layout-flow block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:25% auto\"><figure class=\"block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lufthansa-group.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12815 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lufthansa-group.png 716w, https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lufthansa-group-380x452.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Benefit from the cooperation with the Lufthansa Group airlines (Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Edelweiss, Discover) and optimize your travel costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the button below for more information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-buttons is-layout-flex block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"block-button\"><a class=\"block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.estiv.org\/congress2026\/travel-and-venue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discounted flight information<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-column is-layout-flow block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>MECC Hotel Services is the official housing partner for ESTIV 2026.
