Webinars and Meetings Calendar
N.B. For information about courses in laboratory animal science, click here.
The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in an enormous increase in the number of webinars and online meetings. Many of these are recorded and can be accessed here.
Past meetings: A complete list of links to past webinars and meetings can be accessed here. Many of these links will eventually die out, but they still give a useful overview of organisers and locations of relevant webinars and meetings within laboratory animal science, and it is often possible to contact the organisers for more information.
