The conference aims to accelerate the move away from using animals in science

The SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE

“Towards replacement of animals for scientific purposes” will take place online on 2 and 3 February 2021. Organised by the European Commission, the conference aims to accelerate the move away from using animals in science and testing.

The conference will be of interest to all those working with animal models or alternative approaches, or both, in any field of basic or applied science. We look forward to welcoming a wide and diverse audience.

The main objectives of the conference are:

- To provide an update on the Commission’s strategic work towards the ultimate goal ofReplacing animals in science by advancing non-animal alternatives.

- To illustrate how increased transparency on current animal use can help speed up the transition to non-animal approaches.

- To showcase the most recent scientific advances in replacing animal models.
