CPD webinar series in Laboratory Animal Science, 2026
Norecopa and Rafael Frías, through his newly founded company R3FINED International, are partnering to run a full year of CPD webinars in Laboratory Animal Science (LAS) during 2026.
Our aim is to provide relevant, practical, and high-quality learning for everyone involved in the care and use of animals in science. The webinars follow Annex V of Directive 2010/63/EU and the learning outcomes of the EU Education & Training Framework, so the content is grounded in strong international standards.
Each webinar focuses on a key topic in LAS: ethics and the 3Rs, species biology and care, pain recognition and alleviation, humane endpoints, refinement of techniques, anaesthesia, surgery, experimental design, and good scientific practice. The aim is to offer knowledge which attendees can actually use, with time to interact and ask questions.
The series is open to everyone, whether you perform procedures, design or evaluate projects, care for animals, or support training and competence development.
All webinars are free, and anyone with an interest in LAS is welcome to join.
