Society of Toxicology (SOT) Contemporary Concepts in Toxicology (CCT) Meetings expand the opportunities and forums for members to engage in the exchange of ideas and information relevant to toxicology. CCT Meetings are one- to two-day focused, open registration, scientific meetings in contemporary and rapidly progressing areas of toxicological sciences. The CCT Meetings also can be held as webinars.
If you think that your research area could be enhanced by thought leader collaboration or that public health and safety could be improved by disseminating your research findings more broadly, please consider organizing an SOT CCT Meeting. The CCT Conferences Committee and the SOT Headquarters staff are prepared to help move your meeting forward.
The Society will underwrite all the liabilities of the CCT Meeting (up to the $25,000 in seed money) with the expectation that the meeting at least break even financially. Profit sharing for SOT component groups is available. For more information about CCT Meetings, please the SOT website.
CCT Meetings focus on a wide range of topics and a future CCT addresses the following:
- Toxicity of Biodiesel and Other Biofuels: Implications for Global Use, September 4–5, 2014, Edinburgh, Scotland
In order to sustain the quality standards of the Society, only meetings in which SOT maintains scientific and administrative control will be considered. Meetings developed and administered by other organizations may be eligible for endorsement by the Society of Toxicology.
