News & Events

The primary objective of the workshop is to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the standardisation needs across various stakeholders and establish a network of interested parties for collaboration, knowledge-sharing.

Every year, the ASCCT meeting convenes scientists from across government, industry, academia, and NGOs to share science, discuss regulatory policies, and collaborate to advance toxicology. In 2025 the meeting will provide a focus on meeting regulatory and public health needs with in vitro and computational approaches. Continuing Education and Scientific Session proposals now open.

Deadlines:

• April 25: CE and Session proposal deadline
• July 30: Regular Abstract submission deadline

This seminar will feature two presentations: 

• `'NAM life cycle using the example of the DNT IVB for regulatory application`' - Prof. Dr. Ellen Fritsche
• 'Development of an in vitro embryonic implantation model' - Prof. Dr. Marta Barenys Espadaler

This conference will bring together young professionals, researchers, educators, and policymakers committed to the animal-free transition. Through keynote lectures, hands-on workshops, poster sessions, and networking moments, the event aims to connect diverse fields and spark collaboration in the areas of technology/Research Models, Transition Science, Education, Policy & Legislation. 

The deadline for abstract submission is July 31st. Accepted abstract will be announced at the end of August. 

Join for the fourth session of the series featuring Rob Wright, informationist at Johns Hopkins University’s Welch Medical Library. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn a structured, NAMs-focused approach to searching the scientific literature. Using PubMed, Rob will demonstrate how to build a targeted search concept, with a focus on organoids and microphysiological systems (MPS).

This training will focus on the development, assessment and use of AOPs in toxicological research and risk assessment. Participants should have a basic background in toxicology or related disciplines, and a general understanding of current principles in risk assessment schemes. This course is open to both PARC members and non-members. Submit your application no later than 1 August 2025.

This conference will celebrate EARA's 10th anniversary and bringing together EARA members, the wider biomedical community and science communicators to shape the future of animal research communication. The event will explore the next steps to improve the sector’s approach to communication with the public and develop its understanding. It will also address the challenges faced in regions where transparency has yet to be fully implemented and discuss strategies to ensure that openness becomes a global standard.

This two days hands-on training will cover practical use of static and dynamic respiratory in vitro 3D tissues and exposure devices to evaluate acute and repeated dose inhalation toxicity and efficacy testing. A half-day will be dedicated to lectures, followed by one and a half days of practical sessions (hands-on training), where participants, divided into small groups, will get the chance to manipulate and see the critical steps of the methods with the experts.

Registration fee includes the participant booklet, catering and social dinner.
