Following the distressing events of recent days and supported by advice from our Russian members, IST Council has cancelled the planned IST World Congress in St Petersburg, Russia.
The next IST World Congress is currently planned for October 16-21st, 2022, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, hosted by Amsaal Venom Farm. More information will follow.
The European Section of the IST is the oldest Section and traditionally has been able to draw on the large number of toxinology researchers working in the region, whose work often encompasses toxins from around the World, since Europe itself is not home to as many toxin producing fauna and flora as some other regions.
