Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)

SETAC Latin America 11th Biennial Meeting 2015

SHARE

The objective of the SETAC Latin America 11th Biennial Meeting, “The Role of Science in Environmental Decision-Making” is to continue with the series of SETAC Latin America meetings and to promote the interaction among Latin American professionals engaged in environmental science with colleagues from other parts of the world. We wish to stimulate education and participation of students and to facilitate scientific exchanges among the academic, business and government sectors.

The scientific program includes short courses, a workshop, three plenary talks, 18 different sessions on selected topics, a special symposium and poster socials.

The preliminary sessions tracks are:

  • Aquatic Toxicology and Ecology
  • Pesticides and the Environment
  • Terrestrial and Wildlife Toxicology and Ecology
  • Environmental or Analytical Chemistry
  • Environmental Health
  • Fate and Effects of Nanomaterials
  • Endocrine Disruption
  • Landscape Ecotoxicology and Management
  • Ecological Risk Assessment
  • Exposure, Bioavailability and Bioaccumulation
  • Life Cycle Analysis and Sustainability
  • Environmental Education
  • Emerging Contaminants and Effects
  • Special Symposia on select topics

The social program will include the welcome reception, student party, conference banquet and a closing ceremony featuring a tango show.

SETAC is committed to ethical professional conduct. To ensure Environmental Quality through Science®, SETAC meetings serve as open forums for environmental professionals to present the findings of their scientific research. The opinions and ideas expressed are those of the individual, not of the Society.

By encouraging open discussion and exchange of ideas, SETAC meetings help bring the scientific weight-of-evidence to bear in answering environmental toxicology and chemistry questions. Only through support by data and peer-reviewed publications do scientific findings stand the test of time. Ultimately, these findings are accepted or rejected by an individual’s peers, not by an organization like SETAC.

Presenters at all SETAC meetings worldwide are expected to be civil and to be professional in their words and actions. When you submit an abstract to SETAC, you agree to meet these expectations. SETAC reserves the right to suspend the privileges of presenting at SETAC meetings if such presenters are deemed to be in violation of the code of conduct rules.

Each member and all persons participating in SETAC meetings and activities are bound by this Code of Ethics and should:

  • Conduct themselves responsibly, objectively, lawfully and in a non-discriminatory manner.
  • Ensure that presentations during Society-sponsored events and other communications are restricted to, and based on scientific principles and made in a respectful manner.
  • Respect the rights, interests, and contributions of professional colleagues.
  • Respect intellectual property and provide appropriate attribution for all intellectual property arising elsewhere.
  • Declare and avoid conflicts of interest
  • Not knowingly make false or misleading statement(s), or engage in activities that could be viewed as defamatory about a professional colleague or an organization.
  • Recognize and respect confidentiality while being honest and forthcoming in all issues of public record.
  • Objectively and clearly communicate scientific methods, understanding and knowledge in a professional  manner
  • Conduct research and related activities so as to avoid or minimize adverse environmental effects of that research, and ensure compliance with legal requirements for protection of researchers, human subjects, and research organisms and systems.
