(certified) Training & Education Sessions

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. The symposium will address the following topics:
- Animal Welfare, Assessment & 3R
- Influence of Imaging on Animal Welfare
- Replacement Methods
- Study Planning & Statistics
- Does the Goal justify the Method?

(Tuesday 17.15h-20.15h)
10 thematic Study Groups are organizing their interactive, viable group sessions. To continue discussion these sessions are followed by a thematic bar hopping – do not miss to join and read more about Study Groups here.
young ESMI events
(Tuesday 09.00h-11.00h)
Do not miss out the best start into an EMIM: participate in the traditional Science-Speed-Dating by young ESMI! Followed by the Think Tank Sessions – 45 minutes of interactive exchange and discussion on specific topics with high relevance for early-career researchers.
Project Sessions
Project Sessions (PRO)
(Tuesday 15.15h-16.45h)
The ESMI arose from two large collaborative research projects. These roots are still reflected in the spirit of cooperation, but also in this Project Session track. Each session is organized by a multinational research consortium. An open call in that regards is launched in August 2023.
