EDQM, EPAA and EURL ECVAM are organising the workshop 'Novel in vitro model as alternative to in vivo toxoid vaccines testing: Clostridium septicum vaccine as a proof of concept'. This workshop aims to facilitate the implementation of new in vitro cell-based assays for in-process quality control, validated through the collaborative study BSP130 – a joint EDQM-EPAA project successfully completed in 2018.

During this course you will learn more about the 'Good Cell Culture Practices (GCCP) and principles' in all stages of the development of in vitro testing. You will learn more from different experts in the field during the lectures, and there will also be a theoretical-practical session with interactive exercises (optional).

Save the date for the EU Commission's Scientific Conference themed “Towards replacement of animals for scientific purposes".

• Learn more about the new transparency on the use of animals in science,
• Experience new education and training materials on alternative technologies, 
• Gain confidence in using non-animal approaches, and
• Share your progress!

This event will bring together experts and scientists in the field of Organ-on-Chip to discuss: (1) how to accelerate the translation of advanced in-vitro models into clinical and drug development applications; (2) how to develop innovative products or services based on ground-breaking technologies and (3) how to overcome barriers associated with the adoption of new methods and technologies in a regulated environment.

During this webinar, participants from the Italian and International Zebrafish community will have the opportunity to  share their scientific experience and learn about the latest research findings and cutting-edge research tools and technologies. 

Deadline for abstract submission: 7^th January 2021

This conference will explore the major impact of health technologies (micro- and nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, design thinking, robotics, novel manufacturing technologies and big data) across all industries in healthcare and life sciences.

This virtual symposium will discuss the 3Rs impact in various areas of biomedical research. Both scientists working with laboratory animals, and alternatives to animal testing are welcomed to this symposium! During the first session two interesting models will be discussed 'an ex vivo lung culture model for antiviral testing' and 'neuroblastoma organoid models for DNA damage inhibitors'.
