On behalf of the Organising Committee we are very pleased to invite you to the 13th FELASA congress entitled: ‘Brussels Revisited’ to be held on 13-16 June 2016 in Brussels, jointly organized with BCLAS (the Belgian Council for Laboratory Animal Science), NVP (the Dutch Society for Laboratory Animal Science) and BV (the Dutch Society for Animal Technology). The venue of the Congress is The Square, at the heart of the cultural centre of the city. Of course, Brussels is also the political centre of the European Union who have decided to innovate the Directive for the protection of animals used for research (2010/63 replacing 86/609). This new Directive aims to create a level playing field in Europe regarding the use of animals. The scale of the new Directive’s innovations reflects high ambitions to further develop and implement 3Rs alternatives (Reduction, Refinement and Replacement) and governance (by greater transparency). As a result, the Congress will also be of great interest to politicians and public bodies across Europe. The FELASA Congress will attract over a thousand scientists and other professionals from all over the world, if only out of curiosity to see how things will develop in Europe, where animal protection is at an unprecedented high level. The programme will cover scientific, societal and practical aspects of a range of topics of interest for those working in this field.The main themes will address the quality and validity of animal research, how animals and humans are at risk from the same health issues, technological advances, animal welfare, harmonization and exchange of best practices i.e. through education and training and ethical evaluation, and how all this is related to public interests. ...

FELASA, Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations, represents over 4000 specialists in the field of laboratory animal science from 28 countries and 21 constituent associations. In 2018, FELASA celebrates its 40th anniversary and looks to 2019 to continue its work for the next 40 years. It is therefore time to invite you to the 14th FELASA Congress that will take place on 10-13 June 2019 in Prague, the beautiful capital of Czech Republic. The FELASA Congress is a scientific and educational event, offering current knowledge on the use and welfare of animals in experiments and how to make improvements in these areas: in Prague, the special issue will be the correct reporting of animal research. Animal welfare, ethical aspects, legislation and education are obvious parts of congress topics. We will also have the newest information and recommendations on how to work with aquatics and some other rarely used species. ... [Information of the supplier]
FELASA and AFSTAL are glad to invite you to the 15th FELASA Congress, from 13 to 16 June 2022 in Marseille, France. Three years have passed since our last congress. After so many months spent working in difficult conditions, we are now even more excited about this great opportunity to meet up again and share ideas and knowledge about laboratory animal science. We have chosen Marseille as the perfect location for FELASA 2022 at the Mediterranean sea. This time the host Association is AFSTAL, the French Association of Laboratory Animal Sciences. The motto of this FELASA Congress is communication. ... [Information of the supplier]

SEB as a society supports science conducted in an ethical and humane manner and our 2016 symposium will promote the 3Rs (Reduction, Replacement, Refinement) in animal biology. This meeting will be dedicated to improving animal welfare, reducing numbers of animals used and replacing animals in experimental procedures in animal behaviour, endocrinology, neurobiology, physiology, toxicology, and other disciplines by focussing on innovations in the 3Rs principles. This symposium will showcase the latest research through two days of invited and submitted presentations by experts and young researchers in the field of 3Rs research. We shall also devote a proportion of this meeting to educating our members on key areas of experimental animal welfare, reducing or replacing animals in experiments, ethics, funding opportunities, engagement with the public and openness in science e.g. The Concordat. This symposium covers all of the interest groups within the Animal Section so has broad appeal and will also be relevant to members of the Cell Section that use cell cultures rather than whole animals. We welcome abstracts from Ph.D. students, early career researchers and academics on the following topics: Reduction – Methods that minimise the numbers of animals used in experiments; Replacement – Methods that avoid or replace the use of animals; Refinement – Methods that minimise suffering and improve animal welfare. ...
