Scand-LAS 2002

Main topics:

• The latest sources of information on the three R’s
• Guidelines for the refinement of protocols and papers
• The challenges of non-traditional research animals
• Raising standards in animal facilities
• Anaesthesia and analgesia: state of the art
• Highlights of Nordic research

There will be parallel sessions in English and Scandinavian.

The Symposium will be held at the Clarion Oslo Airport Hotel, Gardermoen Airport. By choosing this central venue we hope to attract a large number of scientists and technicians who would not normally visit a laboratory animal meeting. Possibilities for day registration will be given. There is easy access from the city centre using the Airport Express Train (19 minutes).

Our aim is to make the principles of laboratory animal science and welfare visible for the scientific community, to provide an interface for discussion and to encourage future cooperation.

Those who attended the Scand-LAS symposium at Hafjell in 1998 will quickly feel at home in the Clarion Oslo Airport Hotel. The Airport Hotel, however, boasts in addition a number of amenities, including a large indoor bathing complex.

Where is Gardermoen?

Oslo city centre, with all its facilities for leisure activities, eating out and sightseeing, is within easy reach, either by the Airport Express Train, which takes 19 minutes, or by the airport buses which take 40 minutes. Click on these links for more details of transport to and from Oslo and for more general tourist information.

Those of you who participated in the Scand-LAS Symposium at Lillehammer in 1998 will instantly feel at home at this year's venue. The hotel is built in the same style, but is a larger conference hotel and includes an extensive indoor bathing complex. We believe that we have found a central venue with easy access, providing modern facilities and excellent service in a comfortable atmosphere.
Here you can see an overall view of the airport (with the hotel to the extreme left), an exterior view, an overall view of the hotel and plan of the facilities. The Trandumsal and Sessvoll auditorium, which will be used for the two main sessions, are featured here.
