Animal experimentation is still playing a major role within the field of biomedical and translational research. However, due to limited transferability on the one side as well as strong technological progress and ethical concerns on the other, alternative models get more in focus to address central scientific questions. This 2-days online course introduces the 3Rs principles of “Replacement, Reduction and Refinement” and in interactive seminars we discuss ethical aspects how animal welfare in biomedical research can be improved. This course is aimed at PhD/doctoral students only and the course language is English.
The course takes part in 2 online meetings on September 21st + 22nd, 10 am – 4 pm each.
Participation in all sessions is mandatory and will be awarded with 0.8 ECTS-CP for PhD/doctoral students.
