The 21^th congress of the European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV) is themed “Key enabling non-animal technologies for research, education and testing”. Abstracts can be submitted for oral or poster presentation. Authors will be invited to write an original research manuscript or review paper, which will be taken into consideration for the ESTIV 2020 proceedings to be published in the journal Toxicology In Vitro.

This workshop is intended to stimulate discussions about the practical implementation of computational methods for data analysis and predictive modelling approaches such as (Quantitative) Structure-Activity Relationships, read across and high throughput and high content (HT/HC) screening methods. These and other mechanistically based approaches can support data-driven decision-making frameworks.

This Summer School will provide participants with an opportunity to learn more on the One health concept, its economic impact and consumers’ perception, through experts’ sessions and case studies analysis.

One Health is an approach in which various disciplines relate and collaborate to achieve better public health outcomes. It recognizes an existing link between human, animal and environmental health.

This course offers theoretical and practical training in the use of quantitative proteomics approaches. Participants will learn more about the principles of current methodologies including label-free, SILAC and TMT as well as targeted proteomics, and they will be trained in the use of bioinformatic tools for data analysis.

This workshop aims to promote knowledge sharing between Principal Investigators who are using the Drosophila as an animal model to understand the principles of development, cell biology, neurobiology, physiology, genetics, evolution and population genetics. All participants are invited to present the current activities of their laboratories.

During this event, new alternative methods to animal testing in toxicology and biomedical sciences will be presented. The event will take place as a virtual meeting and will offer a series of lectures, training, laboratory tours and poster presentations.

This event focuses on an important and expanding field wherein cells are being assembled using Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip technologies in a functionally-relevant manner. These clusters of "assembled cells" have functional significance and can mimic in vivo organ structure. A number of chips such Lung-on-a-Chip, Brain-on-a-Chip, Nerve-on-a-Chip,.. amongst others have been built and will be presented and explored at this conference. 

The fruit fly has played a leading role in the discovery and dissection of basic biological processes. The goal of this training is to educate and inspire next generation of scientists, by providing an up-to-date overview of both contemporary and classic topics, spanning state-of-the-art techniques in Drosophila genetics and genomics.
