Mission of the Norwegian Environmental Toxicology Symposium

NETS is an interdisciplinary symposium with focus on research- based solutions to solve challenges related to the protection of the environment, and in particular increasing knowledge on how anthropogenic stressors affect ecosystems alone and in combination with other stressors, including climate change. Improving our knowledge of how different stressors act singly or in combinations are key to protect natural sources that Norway and other countries rely upon.

The NETS meeting aim to meet these challenges by establishing national and international networks of competence, aid recruitment of highly qualified personnel to existing scientific and regulatory communities, in addition to establishing collaborative platforms and discussion arenas for science of high quality.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation, the 8^th Norwegian Environmental Toxicology Symposium will be arranged digitally November 4^th-5^th, 2020, and follows in the successful path of seven previous meetings in Oslo (2004), Trondheim (2008), Bergen (2010), Tromsø (2012), Stavanger (2014), Oslo (2016) and Longyearbyen (2018).
