4th ESTP International Expert Workshop, Paris, France, June 8 – 9, 2015
"Adversity" in preclinical safety and toxicologic pathology reports

Dear Colleagues,

ESTP is currently sponsoring an International Expert Workshop on the use of the term "adverse" in preclinical safety and experimental toxicology, with a special focus on toxicologic pathology reports. After a series of preparatory teleconferences, the face-to-face expert discussion will take place at the Sanofi Aventis Research & Development site in Paris, France, on 8th and 9th June, 2015. As a result of the discussion a guidance paper on the use of the term "adverse" will be prepared and is intended to be published in a peer reviewed journal.

Additionally to the invited experts, a limited audience (maximum: 25 persons) will be accepted to assist this discussion, which will include a question & answer session. Online registration for interested toxicologic pathologists will open on April 8 and will close on May 15, 2015. Due to the limited places available, registrations will be accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Please note: due to a strict security policy at the Sanofi Aventis site, non-EU residents registered for the event have to make sure to send a copy of their valid passport to the local organizer until 15th May latest.

The participation fee will be € 75,00. in case of bank transfer or € 80,00 in case of payment by Credit Card. The higher fee for Credit Card Payment is justified by the additional costs the Society has to pay for this service. After your registration, please arrange immediate payment either to the ESTP Bank Account Commerzbank Lörrach, Germany, IBAN DE66 6834 0058 0280 9705 00 – BIC COBADEFF683 (USt-IdNr.
