Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell'Abruzzo e del Molise 'G. Caporale' (IZS-Teramo) and Fondazione Guido Bernardini (FGB) are organising a training event on alternative methods, structured into two main sessions:

  • International Conference “The multifaced universe of alternative methods in the day-to-day experimental work”, March 1st, 2023 
  • Satellite Onsite workshop “Optimising the design and running of studies”, Febraury 28th (1 edition) and March 2nd (2nd edition)

The aim of the International Conference is to provide an overview on how to identify the best strategy for addressing a specific research question, including but not limited to the optimisation of the study design and the choice of the best experimental system.

The programme of the International Conference covers key topics such as systematic reviews, the PREPARE Guidelines, the pre-clinical model qualification approach, and the new frontiers in the non-animal research space.

This event, that will run both in person and virtually, is the opportunity to gain insights about how to choose the best model to answer a specific research question, and to discuss the principle that a model can or cannot be the best choice based on the context of use.

On February 28 and March 2nd, the opportunity will be offered to attend a Workshop with a limited number of seats, held by Prof. Derek Fry: for info, please click here
