The Society for Mycotoxin Research (Gesellschaft für Mykotoxinforschung e.V.) was founded in Munich, Germany, in 1997. The aim of this registered, non-profit association is to promote research on all scientific fields of mycotoxinology including:

• Mycotoxins and Human Health
• Mycotoxins and Animal Health
• Mycotoxins and Food Safety
• Mycotoxins and Feed Safety
• Toxigenic Fungi and Production of Mycotoxins
• Toxicology of Mycotoxins
• Occurrence and Analyses of Mycotoxins

One of our core ideas was to create bridges between the different scientific disciplines working on the field of toxigenic fungi and mycotoxins.  

The society presently has around 150 members from 20 countries and is a truly international society. It is led by the Board of Directors.

The Society is organizing the annual Mycotoxin Workshop and is publishing the Journal Mycotoxin Research.
