Description	EUROTOX funds Basic and Specialised Toxicology courses in collaboration with Member Societies to promote toxicology training in European countries at minimal cost. Each course is limited to 35-40 students. Preference will be given to participants from countries where there is little or no formal education in toxicology. Each course is residential and held over 5 consecutive days and consists of lectures, problem solving/discussion sessions in small groups and plenary meetings. The course programme is developed jointly by the host society and the EUROTOX Sub-committee on education. There is a written examination at the end of each course and those participants who pass the exam will be given a certificate of successful completion of the course. Other participants will be given a certificate of attendance.
