Ecotoxicology in Mountain Ecosystems: Insights from the SETAC Europe 35th Annual Meeting in Vienna
Abstract
The 35th Annual Meeting of SETAC Europe, held in Vienna from 11–15 May 2025, convened over 2,000 scientists and professionals from around the world to discuss pressing global challenges in environmental toxicology, chemistry, and risk assessment. Under the theme “One Environment. One Health. Sustainable Societies,” the conference addressed a wide range of interconnected topics—spanning molecular responses to pollutants, ecosystem-scale stress responses, regulatory frameworks, and environmental policy. Notably, special emphasis was placed on the growing vulnerability of mountain and remote areas, the influence of climate change on contaminant behavior, and advances in environmental monitoring. The meeting provided a vital platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, showcasing innovative methodologies, comparative studies, and integrated approaches for tackling complex environmental issues.
