LAB TO LAW

Bridging the Gap from Science to Policy

46th Annual Meeting of the Dutch Society for Toxicology

June 4th & 5th 2025

The theme of this years’ scientific meeting is ‘From Lab 2 Law: Bridging the Gap from Science to Policy. Toxicology plays a crucial role in shaping policies that protect human, animal and environmental health, yet translating scientific findings into regulatory decisions remains a challenge. As scientific advancements continue to refine our understanding of toxicity, the question remains: How do we ensure that research findings effectively inform policy and legislation? What are emerging topics of concern that need local and global attention?

This meeting will explore the dynamic relationships between toxicology and regulation. Through keynote lectures, interactive workshops, and poster sessions, we will highlight how scientific evidence contributes to risk assessment, regulatory frameworks and decision-making. Experts from academia, industry, and government will share insights on navigating the complexities of policy development ensuring that toxicological research leads to meaningful impact.

We are happy to invite you to the meeting at Congresscentrum de Reehorst, Ede on June 4th and 5th.
