Beyond Compliance: Integrating the 3Rs into Your Research Career

Are you an Early Career Researcher passionate about high-quality research and animal welfare? This pre-conference workshop is for you! 

We’re bringing together researchers from diverse fields of biomedical research to explore how we can collectively build a future of impactful science with the highest standards of animal welfare and research into alternatives to animal experiments.

What to Expect:

Join us for an afternoon of interactive learning and practical skill-building! This 4-hour workshop is designed to be highly engaging, with breaks for social encounter included. 

You'll:

• Brainstorm & Strategize: Work with your peers to identify concrete ways to implement the 3Rs in your own research and develop a personal and institutional 3Rs roadmap.
