News & Events

The FC3R will be organising the first ‘Journées Françaises des 3R’ at the École Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort (EnvA). This scientific conference will focus on three main themes: the implementation of 3R sharing tools, replacement and 3R digital approaches.

The aim of the conference is to promote the 3Rs in France, to encourage collaboration and the exchange of knowledge, and to publicise the advances made in the French 3Rs.

In this 90-minute webinar, Dr. David Rouquie and Dr. Jessica Ewald will present on incorporating omics technology in toxicity assessment and drug discovery.

Registration is free but mandatory.

This symposium has the slogan "From Tissue Engineering to Engineered Tissue". An attractive program including internationally renowned speakers, industrial expositions and several opportunities for PhDs and Post-Docs to present their work has been assembled. Additionally, plenty of time will be provided for informal interaction between junior and senior academics and industrial partners. BSTE is an excellent platform for researchers to get acquainted with the current players in the field and to spark new collaborations.

During this webinar session, Dr. Bella Manshian (KU Leuven) will present her work on optimized 3D explants for ex vivo precision cut tissue slices. Then, Nathalie Dirkx (UHasselt) will present her work on human dental pulp stem cells as a patient-in-a-dish model for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A.

Participation in this webinar is free of charge, but registration is mandatory. Certificates of attendance will be provided upon request.

Save the date! More information will follow soon.

Abstract submission deadline: 1st of October 2024
Registration deadline: 1st of November 2024

During this webinar, Dr. Kaori Ambe will present her work on the prediction of skin sensitization using machine learning. Dr. Ambe is an Associate Professor at the Nagoya City University in Japan, and a researcher in computational toxicology and regulatory science. Recordings from this webinar will be posted on the ASCCT webinar archive.

The BelTox annual scientific meeting will be organized together with the Belgian Environmental Mutagen Society (BEMS) on the theme “Novel non-clinical testing strategies for the development of human medicinal products”. The program is already available.

The deadline of the submission of the Young Scientist Competition abstracts and the poster abstracts is the 1st November 2024.

This annual meeting will be themed "Science for Tomorrow: Redefining Research with the 3Rs". This year's program is designed to inspire and engage scientists. Over the course of 1.5 days, participants will have the chance to hear from distinguished experts in 3R research, participate in thought-provoking sessions, and share their own work with peers. Besides a keynote lecture and sessions on Replacement, Reduction, Refinement and New Thinking in 3Rs, a session will be dedicated to short talks from selected abstracts.
