(certified) Training & Education Sessions
3R Symposium
(Tuesday 08.30h-14.00h)
6 CPD (Continuous Professional Development) are certified upon full completion (09.00h to 15.00h) and in accordance with Directive 2010/63/EU. The 3R Symposium serves the increasing need for continuous, certified education and training on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes.
However, this course is not only relevant for scientists who need certified continuous education, but certainly for everyone who is concerned with this topic.
Educational Sessions (ES)
(Tuesday 10.30h-14.00h)
ES provide you with the perfect state-of-the-art update on latest developments in the field and prepare you for the coming week. For juniors and seniors alike!
