3R Accreditation

We will request the accreditation of this meeting for continuous education in the field of animal experimentation by the Veterinary Offices with the abstracts that we will get for this conference. Abstracts will be treated confidentially.

During abstract submission, you will therefore be asked to provide a short statement about the animal model used and how your project fulfills one or more of the 3R principles.

We'll update you on the outcome, but usually, this meeting gets accredited with 1-2 days.
