The NC3Rs, HESI, and ICCS are co-sponsoring the inaugural Innovate EcoSafety Summit. This meeting, organised by a multi-sector committee, will gather experts to advance environmental safety assessment, address scientific priorities, and coordinate future ecotoxicology work.

The 2025 summit will focus on applying NAMs to improve ecological risk assessment and hazard screening, with themes on:

• Replacing acute in vivo fish testing.
• Endocrine disruptor assessment for fish and amphibians.

This workshop provides a first introduction and hands-on experience on the topic. It is suitable for anyone with an interest in synthesizing evidence from animal studies, e.g. researchers, animal welfare officers, etc. Researchers interested in systematic review of clinical or in vitro studies will also find this workshop useful. This workshop is funded by the ZonMW program “Meer kennis met minder dieren” and therefore free of charge.

During this webinar, Justine C. Watkins from Utrecht University’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine will present her team’s groundbreaking research on replacing animal use in botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) testing.

This conference will bring together scientists, professionals, and students from all regions of the globe to celebrate the unity of the worldwide toxicology community.

The theme of “Toxicology for Safe Environment and Healthy Life” will focus on a program that highlights excellence and diversity in toxicology.

Deadline to submit abstract: 26 March 2025

During this webinar, two speakers from the RE-Place database will present their work on: 

• Unraveling hepatitis E virus replication in the gut using human intestinal enteroids and a gut-on-chip model
• Patient derived tumoroid to model rectal cancer under radiotherapy in a microphysiological system

Twelve NAM information initiatives – together under the name NAMii – have joined forces to organise an inspiring webinar series. Find out how you can use these knowledge bases, search engines, infrastructures, and other tools to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your NAM-based research! During this session, TPI.tv and BATI will be presented. 

The ISES Europe 2025 Workshop is the annual gathering of the European Chapter of the International Society of Exposure Science (ISES Europe). this workshop aims to bring together scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss the latest advancements in exposure science and their implications for environmental and health policy. The workshop will center around the theme “Exposure Science: Tackling Today’s Environmental, Health Challenges and Policy Needs”.
