Maastricht as European hub for 2,600 environmental professionals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maastricht, 8 July 2024 – MECC Maastricht will be hosting the 36th<\/sup> edition of the annual European conference of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) from 16-21 May 2026. The conference offers a forum for collaboration and knowledge exchange between environmental professionals and covers a broad spectrum of multidisciplinary topics. In the past, the European event has been held in cities such as Copenhagen, Dublin and Seville, and in 2025 it will take place in Vienna. 2,600 participants are expected to attend the event in Maastricht in May 2026. Last week, the contract was signed by Bart Bosveld, Global Executive Director of SETAC and Frank Mimpen, MECC Maastricht Commercial Director. <\/strong><\/p>\n

About SETAC <\/strong>
\nSETAC is a global, nonprofit professional organisation consisting of approximately 16,000 individuals and institutions in more than 90 countries. Their work involves the study, analysis and resolution of environmental problems, the management and regulation of natural resources, research and development, and environmental education. The association has more than 20,000 members worldwide. SETAC\u2019s global meetings are held annually in May in Europe, in November in North America and every two years in the Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions. SETAC also provides periodic support to the Young Environmental Scientist Meeting (YES) events held around the world. The annual European meetings are organised by Brussels-based SETAC Europe, in cooperation with a voluntary programme committee composed of the association\u2019s members.<\/p>\n

Barbara Koelman, SETAC Europe Meeting Manager: \u2018It\u2019s a great feeling to see how motivated the city of Maastricht, the Maastricht Convention Bureau and MECC Maastricht are to welcome our event in 2026. The personal touch, the city\u2019s many assets such as its compactness and hospitality, and the modern, sustainable convention centre all make it clear that both the venue and the city truly embrace the meeting.\u2019<\/p>\n
