The World Congress is the premier scientific (and social) meeting of the IST, held every two years.
Don’t miss these major events!
Support the IST and your learning and information dissemination by attending IST congresses.
Presentations at these congresses are reserved for IST members, but joining the IST costs less than the difference in registration fees between members and non-members, so joining the IST is an economic “no-brainer”.
These meetings are the premier international scientific forum in Toxinology, drawing IST members and many others from around the world.
