| Description: | This workshop aims to encourage the transfer of 3Rs skills, tool and/or technologies within the cancer research field and to promote a new collaboration with Cancer Research UK where they will co-fund a number of awards made under our Skills and Knowledge Transfer scheme. This scheme facilitates the exchange of 3Rs models, tools and/or technologies between laboratories and institutions helping to ensure that barriers to change in practice, such as a lack of funding, skills or confidence, are addressed and advances in the 3Rs can be rapidly adopted by the scientific community. |

This meeting will provide attendees with the opportunity to: Hear from researchers applying the 3Rs within the cancer research field. Learn about the Skills and Knowledge Transfer grant scheme and hear tips on how to apply. Give a flash presentation: three minutes to speak about your research area, the skills, tools and/or technologies you can transfer OR the skills, tools and/or technologies you are seeking in a collaborator. Network with fellow researchers, potential collaborators and meet with the funders’ representatives. |
