Following the US effort of creating an Evidence-based Toxicology Collaboration (EBTC) in 2011, a European counterpart to adapt Evidence-based Medicine (EBM) principles to Toxicology shall be started. Evidence-Based Toxicology (EBT) seeks to systematically implement transparency, objectivity, and consistency in toxicology. The EBM toolbox (e.g., systematic reviews and test assessment methodology) is available for translation to toxicology, as are the approaches of the Cochrane Collaboration, which applies and fosters systematic reviews. Interested scientists are cordially invited to the official kick-off of the European branch of the EBTC and to become part of the collaboration.
