Between International Congresses, IUTOX sponsors advanced training for selected postgraduate and postdoctoral toxicologists in risk assessment, through the Risk Assessment Summer Schools (RASS). Risk assessment is the ultimate purpose to which toxicological testing and evaluation is directed, providing the information for decision making by industry and governments (on behalf of the population at large).
RASS offers young toxicologists the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and experience in the field of chemical risk assessment and to achieve a better understanding of how to evaluate data and inform decision makers.
