Eurotox 2019 was chosen as the venue for our workshop. Eurotox was a 4-day international congress (from September 8th to 11th 2019) featuring a variety of learning and networking opportunities focused mainly on toxicology (including nanotoxicology). More than 1,600 stakeholders from 63 countries took part to the congress representing academia, business and government (Eurotox Congress).
