The Environmental Endocrine Disruptors GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.This seminar serves as a dynamic forum where emerging leaders in the field of EDCs can explore the latest scientific advances across multiple disciplines, including epidemiology, chemistry, biology, and toxicology. The 2026 GRS emphasizes scientific rigor, providing a platform for trainees to showcase their cutting-edge research to an audience of researchers from diverse backgrounds who share common research values but approach science from different angles. A central theme of the 2026 GRS will be Bridging Research Gaps, fostering dialogue around the big picture aim of making scientific findings more actionable. This includes addressing how we can bridge the language and results between fields to enhance the utility and impact of our collective work on EDCs. The GRS will create an open environment where scientific progress is enriched by diverse thought, providing space for innovative feedback. This collaborative spirit will allow for the refinement of research, identification of new avenues of inquiry, and ultimately strengthen the scientific quality within our EDC research community.

WelcomeDear Colleagues,On behalf of the European Association for Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology (EAVPT), we are delighted to invite you to the EAVPT 2026 Congress, taking place from June 28 to July 1, 2026, in the vibrant city of Thessaloniki, Greece. Centered on the theme "Building Our Foundations, Shaping the Future", the congress will be a landmark gathering of researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, educators, and students, dedicated to advancing veterinary pharmacology and toxicology through innovation, collaboration, and visionary science.A Cutting-Edge Scientific ProgramThe EAVPT 2026 Congress is dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge developments in veterinary science, with a particular emphasis on transformative technologies and emerging trends in veterinary therapeutics. The program will further cover a broad range of topics, spanning fundamental and applied research in pharmacology, toxicology, and all areas of clinical pharmacology.The program features a dynamic lineup of innovative sessions, including:Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Veterinary MedicineTo explore transformative impact of AI on diagnostics, treatment planning, and therapeutic management, delivering unprecedented precision and efficiency in veterinary care.Next-Generation Therapeutics: Gene and Cell TherapiesTo showcase pioneering developments in gene and cell-based therapies, opening new frontiers for treating both companion and livestock animals.Innovative Alternatives to Live Animal TestingTo discuss how state-of-the-art approaches - including in vitro models, in silico simulations, and population PK/PD studies - may replace live animal testing in preclinical efficacy and safety assessments.Core Areas in Veterinary Pharmacology and ToxicologyTopics include genetic influences on drug response, strategies for monitoring and optimizing therapy, drug resistance, global health and emerging infectious threats, environmental impacts on animal health, and innovative biomarkers for safety and efficacy assessment.Fostering Industry-Academia CollaborationA key highlight of EAVPT 2026 is our special plenary session, Developing Innovation in the Veterinary Industry. This session will focus on critical challenges faced in veterinary medicine and examine how academic–industry partnerships can drive transformative solutions. Featuring compelling case studies and a dynamic panel discussion, the session will spotlight successful case studies that bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical application. It offers a unique opportunity for industry leaders, academic researchers, regulatory agencies and innovators to connect, collaborate, and help shape the future of veterinary science.Thessaloniki: A Historic and Vibrant Host CityThessaloniki, Greece’s vibrant second city, is a captivating blend of ancient heritage and modern energy. Nestled along the Aegean Sea, it boasts a rich tapestry of history shaped by Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman influences, evident in its UNESCO-listed monuments, historic churches, and lively markets. Beyond its cultural treasures, Thessaloniki is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, dynamic arts scene, and exceptional cuisine rooted in Mediterranean tradition. With its walkable city center, scenic waterfront promenade, and thriving café culture, Thessaloniki offers an ideal setting for both meaningful professional exchange and memorable exploration.Join Us in Shaping the FutureThe EAVPT 2026 Congress is more than a meeting—it is a platform to strengthen our field’s foundations and chart a bold course for the future. We invite you to be part of this transformative event, where innovation, collaboration, and vision come together to advance veterinary science for a healthier, more sustainable world.We look forward to welcoming you to Thessaloniki in June 2026!Sincerely,Jonathan MochelJonathan MochelEAVPT PresidentEAVPT Executive CommitteeLloyd Reeve-Johnson, EAVPT Senior Vice PresidentMathias Devreese, EAVPT Junior Vice PresidentWolfgang Bäumer, EAVPT SecretaryAude Ferran, EAVPT TreasurerJérôme Giraudel, ECVPT PresidentArno Werners, ECVPT Past-President
