JRC Summer School on Non-Animal Approaches in Science

The European Commission's Joint Research Centre is organizing the fifth edition of its Summer School on Non-Animal Approaches in Science. This event will take place from Monday, 19 May 2025, to Friday, 23 May 2025, in Ispra, Italy. The summer school aims to change the paradigm by focusing on non-animal approaches in science, addressing ethical concerns, and offering advantages for human and environmental research.

The program includes lectures, round tables, and debates, focusing on complex in vitro methods and computational modeling in biomedical research and regulatory applications. Participants will explore career development paths and opportunities in non-animal science.

The application process opens on 5 November 2024, and the deadline for applications is 15 January 2025. Participants will be selected based on the quality of their flash presentation abstract and motivation to attend. The event is free of charge, but participants must cover travel and accommodation costs.

Travel grants are available from various organizations, and the JRC will provide assistance in booking accommodation and arranging local transportation. The event will be organized with a focus on sustainability, minimizing environmental impact.
