PERSITOX- International Symposium onToxic Substances - POSTPONED to second part of 2027 - follow here for updates

We are truly sorrow inform that we have to postpone the conference til 2027. When we started the planning early 2026, we believed we had enough time to arrange the conference in November 2026. During May 2026, an unexpected complication arrived which enposed a delay, which made it very difficult for us to proceed with a safe and economic viable arrangement. We therefore now plan to arrange the conference in 2027. Details about date, venue and arrangement details will be published here as soon as new decisions are made.
