** This is a satellite conference to the 13th World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences, https://www.wc13rio.org/ **
Addressing education through the use of humane, innovative learning tools and alternatives to animal experiments.
Organised by: InterNICHE (1), CAAT (2) & CPBT (3)
Planning partners: RedEH (4), Fórum Animal (5) & DAAE (6)
Additional and supporting partners: CONCEA (7), TPI Utrecht (8), LSCV (9), RSPCA (10) & Global Education Hub for animal-free innovation (11)
The International Conference on Alternatives and Simulation in Education will foreground education through the use of humane tools and approaches (alternatives), particularly in higher education for biology, medical and veterinary medical students. It will focus on ethical innovations for acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes in practical classes across the disciplines, with an emphasis on replacement of harmful animal use and implementation already achieved. The event will feature oral presentations (including lightning talks); an interactive exhibition with hands-on demonstrations; and workshops, panel discussions and a round table. There will also be limited content on continuing education in the clinical field, on training in Non-Animal Methods (NAMs), and on ethical career pathways in humane science. The event will not address training in laboratory animal science (LAS). Contributions from invited speakers and via an open call will be reviewed by a scientific committee. The limited hybrid format and language translation will optimise accessibility. Abstract publication and CPD accreditation are anticipated, so as to enhance professional value and impact.
