The 11th European Congress of Toxicologic Pathology took place at the Handelsbeurs in the medieval university city of Ghent, Belgium from September 10 to 13, 2013. More than 190 participants attended the key lectures, case presentations, free communications and poster presentations.

The main topic of the congress was A pathologist's view of animal models and in-vitro systems. During the main ESTP program, a satellite symposium on CNS Evaluation in Rodent Toxicity Studies was organized by the International Academy of Toxicologic Pathology (IATP).

The congress organization team would like to thank all sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and participants for their valuable contributions and we are looking forward to another wonderful meeting in Berlin, Germany, 2014.
