IUTOX Fellowship Announcements


For STOX members only!

IUTOX will provide financial support to individuals attending the twelfth international Congress of Toxicology (ICT XII) in Barcelona, Spain from July 19–23, 2010. Our ICT meetings occur only once every three years and offer the opportunity to learn the latest developments in toxicological science and regulation through general scientific sessions and continuing education classes.

Two types of fellowships will be awarded. Junior toxicologist fellowships are aimed at individuals at an early stage in their careers. Senior toxicologist fellowships are aimed at those involved in organizational activities in their own national society. The fellowships will assist recipients with their travel and accommodation expenses. The ICT XII organizers will waive the meeting registration fee for up to 40 fellowship recipients.
