International Union of Toxicology
Executive Committee
Invitation of the 13th International Congress of Toxicology to KOREA
Dear Members of the Board,
The Korean Society of Toxicology (KST) cordially invite the 13th International Congress of
Toxicology (ICT XIII) to Korea.
We propose to host the ICT XIII at COEX (Convention and Exhibition Center) in Seoul, in June,
2013 (adjustable). COEX is capable of holding any type of convention and exhibition with most
updated communication systems, and has been used for the ASEM (Asia Europe Summits Meeting).
The complex provides the most exciting accommodation, shopping, amusement, as well as convention
experiences.
KST is an active member of IUTOX and plays a central role in Asian toxicologist community. It has
successfully hosted the 2nd Congress of the Asian Society of Toxicology in 2000, and held various
international meetings of toxicological subject every year. It would be 27 years since the Japanese
Society of Toxicology organized ICT IV in 1986 thus it is meaningful for the members of IUTOX to
return to Asia for the Congress. It will be an excellent opportunity to enjoy Asian hospitality in
2013.
Our steering committee for the ICT XIII consists of experienced as well as younger generation of
toxicologists and prepared the proposal to show that Seoul would be an excellent choice for the 13th
ICT.
The government of Korea, including the city of Seoul and the National Institute of Toxicological
Research, Korean Food and Drug Administration, has expressed strong intersts to support the
congress.
It would be a great honor for the Korean Society of Toxicology to host the 13th International
Congress of Toxicology in 2013.
Sincerely,
Sang Seop Han
President of KST
Jin Ho Chung
Chair of the Steering Commettee

About the Korean Society of Toxicology
The Korean Society of Toxicology was established in 1984 to promote research collaboration, opinion
exchange, and professional training regarding toxicological concerns. The Society has currently 730
members encompassing academia, industry, research organization, and government. Toxicology
community is growing fast in Korea. The community consists of toxicologists in various fields
including but not limited to clinical, occupational, environmental, ecological, food, consumer product,
and public health.
KST publishes quarterly journal, “the Korean Journal of Toxicology and Public Health”, and a
newsletter published on the web. It also organizes biannual scientific meetings to promote research
communication among national and international toxicologists. KST is an active member in both
IUTOX and ASIATOX. It helped found Asian Society of Toxicology (ASIATOX) and organized 2nd
meeting of ASIATOX in 2000, in Jeju, Korea.
KST also concentrates on the education and training of younger generation of toxicologist. The
society offers intensive training courses and operates certification board for the “toxicology expert”.
It also offers GLP training courses. The younger generation of the toxicologists will no doubt play
major role in organizing ICT XIII in 2013.

June in Seoul is warm and bright, and very active period just before the Summer begins. It is best
month to avoid hottest days of July for the meetings. However, the date is adjustable for the
convenience of the international travelers. Since all of the Korean buildings and transportations
