Meetings within Laboratory Animal Science and Alternatives

Norecopa maintains an up-to-date Webinars and Meetings Calendar within Laboratory Animal Science and Alternatives.
Meetings are also advertised in Norecopa's newsletters which are published in English 7-8 times a year.

Norecopa arranges international consensus meetings on the application of the 3Rs to specific areas of research involving animals. Four such meetings have been arranged. The full scientific programme, with downloadable abstracts and presentations, as well as consensus statements and other resources produced by the participants or speakers, can be downloaded from the links below.

We have made an overview of the presentations held at Norecopa's meetings, all for free downloading.

A World Congress on Animal Use in the Life Sciences and Alternatives has been held approximately every 3 years since the first one in Baltimore in 1993.
