3rd OSIRIS Workshop
Optimized Strategies for Risk Assessment of Industrial Chemicals through Integration of Non-Test and Test Information
The Third OSIRIS Stakeholder Workshop will be held on 1-2 March 2010 in cooperation with the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) in Berlin, Germany. It is aimed at continuing the dialogue between the project and EU stakeholders.
The OSIRIS concepts and applications of the Integrated Testing Strategies (ITS) developed will be presented, the OSIRIS web tool for ITS and its functionalities will be demonstrated and case studies will be discussed, relating to Bioconcentration factor (BCF) and Skin sensitisation endpoints.Stakeholders from industry, regulatory authorities, NGOs and academia are invited to provide valuable input to the OSIRIS team, to bring forward concerns and expectations and to discuss applications of the OSIRIS research in the REACH risk assessment process.
The 49th Annual Meeting of the Society of Toxicology, (SOT) will be held March 7–11 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The SOT Annual Meeting is the forum to showcase novel discoveries in toxicology. For the science of toxicology, this 5-day event is the culmination of achievements in research and education over the past year. IIVS will once again be exhibiting at the Tox Expo at booth number 717. We have also sponsored a platform session on marketing "green" products on Thursday morning.

March 21 through 25, 2010
San Francisco, California, USA
The theme of the program is Chemistry for a Sustainable World. Plan to attend the Spring National Meeting in San Francisco, California. The city is known as home to some of the most innovative environmental legislation and initiatives in the world, making it the most appropriate host city for our sustainability program theme.
By attending symposia, poster sessions, and workshops, meeting attendees will experience the most exciting and cutting-edge research that the field of chemistry has to offer.
April 18-21, 2010 Bruges
i-SUP2010 will cover 6 separate international congresses at the same time and at the same location, each aimed at a specific target audience of industry leaders, universities, research institutes and decision makers. Of particular interest is the session on In vitro methods replacing animal testing chaired by (CARDAM).
IIVS is a non-profit science-based organization dedicated to the advancement of alternative testing methods. IIVS seeks to refine the science, broaden the use, and increase the acceptance of in vitro testing worldwide.
Since its founding in 1997, IIVS has worked with industry, academic laboratories, and government agencies to implement testing strategies that limit animal use while supplying key toxicological information.
IIVS is grateful to Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc for its generous support of this website.
