The Spanish Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (SEMA) invites you to participate in the 51st congress of the European Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society (EEMGS), that will take place with our 27th Scientific Meeting. The congress will be entitled «Back to the sunny seashore of genotoxicology: a dive into new developments and applications» and held in our beautiful city of Málaga (Spain) from May 15th to 18th, 2023.

The EEMGS/SEMA 2023 congress will be accompanied by a satellite workshop organised by HESI and focused on «Quantitative Interpretation of Genetic Toxicity Dose-response Data for Risk Assessment and Reg Decision-making«, that will take place on May 15th, just before the beginning of the congress.

After the many difficulties generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the scientific committee is working hard to meet the challenge of returning to the normality of face-to-face meetings and the richness of direct contact with scientists of multiple nationalities. We are designing what we hope will be a very attractive scientific programme, both for academia and industry, that includes recent findings and current advances in mutagenesis and environmental genomics with a special dedication to applied and regulatory genotoxicity testing.

Join us in Málaga for a memorable and inspiring congress!

On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are glad to invite you to take part in the 12th International Symposium on Biological Monitoring in Occupational and Environmental Health (ISBM-12) which will be held on June 21-23, 2023, in Porto, Portugal.

This Congress is organised by the Portuguese National Institute of Health (INSA, I.P.), the Institute of Public Health of University of Porto (ISPUP), and the Scientific Committee of Occupational Toxicology (SCOT) of the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH), in collaboration with other ICOH’s Scientific Committees, namely the Scientific Committee on Nanomaterial Workers’ Health, the Scientific Committee of Rural Health: Agriculture, Pesticides and Organic Dusts and the Scientific Committee of Toxicology of Metals. ISBM-12: Next Generation Biomonitoring will continue the ISBM congress series with a multidisciplinary and holistic view of the latest developments in the Human Biomonitoring (HBM) sciences, bringing together world’s leading scientists, experts, and students. State of the art developments in different topics of HBM (e.g., biomarkers, risk assessment, and regulation), new methodologies and developing expertise will be covered in different presentation formats (keynote lectures, oral and poster sessions).

Porto is a World Heritage vibrant city whose 900-year-old history echoes around its characterful winding streets, tilled churches and seven bridges. The city offers many attractions and activities that are affordable and will make visiting the city a trip to remember. From traditional Portuguese activities like Port wine tasting to historical attractions, Porto offers great environment for ISBM-12 conference.

We look forward to welcoming you in Porto!
