News & Events

The EUROoCS2024 Conference will showcase the latest scientific advancements in the field and favour discussions on technological, industrial and regulatory challenges/opportunities. Topics such as (multi)-organ and disease models, organoids-on-chip, PK/PD modelling, technology platforms, read-out assays, standardization and qualification and toxicity among others, will be addressed.

Deadline for abstract submission: 15/01/2024.

In this interactive course at a beginning master level, you will learn the best practices of advanced in vitro models, regulatory aspects, (stem) cell biology and technologies for testing medicine and/or substance safety testing as well as how the results can be validated, translated and implemented into human medicine. This course aims is to create awareness on the potential of human-based physiological models for human health research and replacement of animal testing.

Following topics will be discussed during the conference:

• Cellular identity
• Ethics, policy and regulations
• Pluripotency and development
• Disease modeling and drug discovery
• New technologies
• Somatic stem cells, cancer and regeneration

Registrations will open end of 2023.

The main topics of the conference include:

• Agent-based modeling
• Bioinformatics
• Bone & cartilage biomechanics
• Cardiovascular mechanics
• Machine learning and artificial intelligence
• Mechanics in infections diseases
• Soft tissue biomechanics
• Wearables and nearables
• ...

Abstracts submission deadline: 19 February 2024

Norecopa and the University of Bergen are organising a summer school to explore the benefits of systematic reviews of animal studies and the different steps to perform them.

Deadline for applications: Monday 1 July. Registration priority will be given to early career scientists.

The 5-day training features both lectures and laboratory hands-on sessions. In this interdisciplinary format, the participants will learn the underlying concepts and principles of Organ-on-Chip technology. It targets M.Sc., MD and PhD students that are beginning their research in the fascinating interdisciplinary field of Organ-on-Chip. Professionals from industry who want to learn about the basics and practice hands-on in lab are also welcome.

The next VPH Conference will take place in Stuttgart (Germany) in September 2024 and will focus on "Data-driven Simulation Technologies for Clinical Decision Making".

Submit your abstract,  and participate in a lively exchange in this exciting field by contributing to this conference and showcasing some of your recent work. Spread the word among your colleagues!
Submission deadline: February 29th, 2024

The InSilico World Workshop is organised as a satellite event on the 3 September 2024.

The congress theme “Toxicology – A Quest for safe Chemicals and Medicines” reflects the congress programme including a variety of topics dealing with safety of drugs and environmental chemicals, new and emerging technologies, personalised medicine, human health effects caused by exposure to chemicals as well as safety issues arising from climate changes.

Registration and Abstract Submission open in December 2023.
