Finnish Network for Toxicological Expertise
The Finnish Network for Toxicological Expertise (TOSVE) is a national collaboration network coordinated by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). It brings together toxicology experts from various organizations. The network aims to strengthen expertise in advanced risk assessment in Finland and to support research, education, and expert work in the field.

TOSVE promotes the visibility of toxicology, enhances preparedness for chemical risks, and acts as the national coordinator in special situations requiring toxicological expertise. The network collaborates closely with universities, authorities, research institutes, and industry.
The network supports competence development by promoting on-the-job learning, developing basic and continuing education, and participating in new research and development projects. In addition, TOSVE identifies and prioritizes research needs, explores funding opportunities, and builds connections between national and international actors. The network also contributes to developing the Centre of Expertise for Chemical Threats and supports post-incident management in hazardous situations.
How to join the network
Experts working in or interested in toxicology can join the network regardless of their organizational background. Membership provides an opportunity for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and professional development within a community of experts.
