Introduction Message On behalf of the Turkish Society of Toxicology (TST), it is our great pleasure to propose to host the XII Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries (CTDC12) in Antalya, Turkey. We all fully understand that the triennial CTDC conference is the most important and the largest international meetings in the area of toxicology in the developing countries. In the past, it provided a great opportunity for us to share experiences in scientific and technical developments, and also we enjoyed friendship with colleagues around the world on this special occasion. Undoubtedly a successful CTDC meeting will help enhance collaborations among participants from different research fields and countries. TST will do our best effort to provide a professional and well- organized meeting to make the CTDC12 a successful, remarkable and memorable event. The Turkish Society of Toxicology (TST) was established as a non-profit organization on 1st October 1987 by 14 founding members with the aim of disseminating toxicological knowledge for improving health and safety by raising standards of living. The vision of the TST is maintaining the contemporary level of toxicological research and applications in the country, while enhancing the Society’s efficiency at the international level. TST became a member of the Federation of European Toxicologists & European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX) in 1989 and the International Union of Toxicology (IUTOX) in 1998. TST hosted 23 activities and contributed to 6. One of them was the 4th Congress of Toxicology in Developing Countries, which was held in Antalya, in the year, 1999.We believe these meeting organization experiences make us a well-qualified candidate to be the host CTDC12. Antalya, which is the most visited touristic province of Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, is also an ideal candidate-city for CTDC12. The area has witnessed many historical changes; you can enjoy the charming atmosphere and the stunning view of the sea.The proposed conference venue, Limak Limra Hotel, is one of the amazing hotels presenting large venues and facilities in Kemer village, which is also a vibrant and successful blend of traditional culture and sealife. We would like to present the proposal and convince you of our strong intent to host the CTDC12 and our confidence to make it more successful than ever. We hope you would find that the quality of our proposal is fully in line and at the level of the previous CTDC conferences. With open arms and warm regards, we look forward to welcoming all of the CTDC12 attendees in Antalya for a very special and rewarding meeting ! Sincerely Yours, Prof. Dr. Nurşen BAŞARAN President of TST 2 II.
