Dear sponsor/exhibitor,

The European Society for Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV), the French Society of Toxicology (SFT) and the French Society of Cellular Pharmaco-Toxicology (SPTC) cordially invite you to participate in the ESTIV 2016 Congress. ESTIV 2016 is the 19th International Congress on In Vitro Toxicology, to be held in Juan-les-Pins, France, October 17-20, 2016.

All together ESTIV, SFT and SPTC activities contribute to 3Rs-alternatives to animal experimentation.

The ESTIV 2016 Congress will focus around the slogan: “In Vitro Toxicology for Human Safety Assessment”. Its comprehensive scientific program will emphasize how to strengthen the interpretation and application of in vitro methods in toxicological research and risk assessment.

ESTIV Congresses are known to attract both young and senior scientists to interact in a friendly atmosphere. The coming congress will follow the tradition of former congresses in stimulating interaction between congress attendees as well as with sponsors and exhibitors.

In vitro toxicology is a growing discipline in which new developments regarding cell and tissue culture methods will become increasingly important for toxicological research and risk assessment, and to replace and reduce animal experiments. This event is therefore an excellent opportunity for companies and organisations dealing with all aspects of in vitro test methods to gain and enforce contacts with new and current clients: cell and tissue suppliers; medium suppliers; manufacturers or suppliers of microscopes, hoods, incubators; biotechnology industry, etc. In addition, sponsoring this event demonstrates that your company takes corporate social responsibility seriously.

ESTIV is the leading organization 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.

SFT (Société Française de Toxicologie) and SPTC (Société de Pharmaco-Toxicologie Cellulaire) are the local organizers of the ESTIV 2016 Congress. SFT aims to bring together people working in various fields of toxicology in France. SPTC is a French toxicological society devoted to the promotion of alternatives to reduce and replace laboratory animals in toxicology testing.
