Science for Tomorrow: Redefining Research with the 3Rs
Welcome to the 2nd Annual Meeting of the 3R Competence Network NRW!
Dear Attendees,
We are delighted to welcome you to the 2nd Annual Meeting of the 3R Competence Network NRW, taking place on December 5th and 6th, 2024, at Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals, Netherlands. Following the success of our inaugural event last year at Kasteel Bloemendal, we are excited to gather once again under the motto "Science for Tomorrow: Redefining Research with the 3Rs" to continue our shared mission of advancing medical progress with the highest standards of animal welfare.
Over the past year, our network has grown and made significant strides in our four main areas of focus: science management, networking, education, and communication. This meeting provides an invaluable opportunity to reflect on these achievements, explore new developments in the field, and strengthen the connections that are the foundation of our network.
This year's program is designed to inspire and engage you. Over the course of 1.5 days, you will have the chance to hear from distinguished experts in 3R research, participate in thought-provoking sessions, and share your own work with peers. Besides a keynote lecture and sessions on Replacement, Reduction, Refinement and New Thinking in 3Rs, we will dedicate a session for short talks from selected abstracts.
Our event will also feature a poster session, where you can present your research and exchange ideas in a collaborative setting. On the evening of December 5th, we invite you to join us for a special Get Together at the Tivoli Business & Event in Aachen. This evening promises to be a highlight, celebrating excellence in our field while providing an opportunity to network in a more informal setting.
We are truly excited to convene with you all, to share knowledge, foster collaborations, and continue building a strong, impactful network. There are many reasons to be part of this event, and we are very much looking forward to seeing you there!
Best regards,
3R Competence Network NRW Organizing Team
