Webinars and Meetings Calendar

N.B. For information about courses in laboratory animal science, click here.

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in an enormous increase in the number of webinars and online meetings. Many of these are recorded and available on demand. A list of recorded webinars and presentations can be accessed here.

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).
