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.

The 2024 Conference agenda will include topics on:

• New Approach Technologies (NAMs)
• Inhaled biologics/proteins
• Inhalation gene expression and cell therapeutics/biomarkers
• Intranasal dosing
• Aerosol generation in-vivo/in-vitro/novel methods and aerosol sampling
• Wildfire and smoke inhalation toxicology

There will also be ample time for networking, meeting with the exhibitors, and manned poster sessions for Q&A with the authors.

Save the date! More info on the congress coming soon.

This Symposium will explore "Reduction and Refinement challenges in 3Rs research". On a daily basis, researchers face various challenges in animal experimentation: surplus animals, pain scoring, misconceptions and questions regarding the use of both sexes in animal research.

Abstract submission deadline: 31/07/2024.

This workshop will include lectures, hands-on cell culture training by experts at the hub and practical demos of organoid assays and functional readouts.

Applicants from across the world are welcome to apply and ppen to graduate students, postdocs and research specialists. Particular emphasis will be placed on recruiting individuals with minimal existing 3D brain organoid culture experience.
