Join nearly 4,000 scientists from around the globe at ISSCR 2025 to take part in a 4-day program comprising the year's most significant new advances in the field.

The Scientific Content is Organized Around 6 Tracks: Clinical Applications, Disease Modeling and Drug Discovery, Global Stakeholder Initiatives, Organ Generation and Regeneration, Pluripotency and Development and Somatic Stem Cells and Cancer

The European Commission (EC), in collaboration with ECHA, will organise a third workshop to discuss the roadmap to phase out animal testing for chemical safety assessments. The purpose is to present recommendations and milestone proposals of the roadmap for stakeholder consultation.

Following meeting online will not require any registration but registration is required to participate the meeting on site.

This seminar series features expert speakers addressing strategies to enhance the robustness and efficiency of preclinical research, striving to close the translational gap and to strengthen the community. In the sixth session, Dr. Nikki Osborne (Responsible Research) and Dr. Nathalie Percie du Sert (NC3Rs) will give an overview of practical tools to support responsible and robust preclinical research.

NAMs integration into regulatory processes is progressing slowly. This workshop aims to: bridge the gaps between scientific innovation and regulatory frameworks, foster a global dialogue to advance the adoption and practical implementation of NAMs in chemical safety and assess NAMs’ current status and future prospects for novel foods.

This summer school will explore the fascinating world of stem cells, regenerative medicine, and their applications in modern sciences. Students will engage in workshops, lectures, and lab sessions with experts in the field.

Course fee: €1000
Limited spots available
Deadline to register: June 9, 2025

The BaCell 3D conference serves as a dynamic platform for the convergence of pioneering minds in the field of organoid technologies, microphysiological systems, in vitro development and regeneration, disease modeling, and drug discovery. It will welcome not only the vast local organoid community but also enthusiasts and experts from around the world.

This event will bring together researchers, educators, and industry leaders to explore innovative approaches to the 3Rs in the field of neuroscience. Confirmed speakers include: Matthias Lütolf (IHB), Jens Kelm (PreComb Therapeutics), Johannes Bohacek (ETH), Anthony Laugeray (UniL), Andrea Campa (Die Tiertrainerin), Ellen Fritsche (SCATH), David Pamies (UniL), Alfred Früh (Uni Basel) and Benjamin Ineichen (UZH).

Registration Opens: September 1, 2024

Abstract Submission Deadline: 26th of April, 2025

This workshop will explore advanced methods in inhalation research. The program covers sessions on lung cell culture preparation and practical training with advanced exposure systems, including lung-on-chip technologies. For the laboratory sessions, demonstrations with hands-on or observer opportunities are offered.
