The fourth GW4 3Rs Symposium is to be held at the University of Bath and is jointly hosted by the NC3Rs (National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research). 

The draft agenda can be found on the event webpage.

This event is free to attend and is aimed at all those engaged in research (both animal research and those working with potential replacement technologies) as well as animal technicians. The event will showcase the latest 3Rs research and welfare initiatives taking place across GW4 and beyond and will also highlight resources and funding opportunities available from the NC3Rs (www.nc3rs.org.uk). The GW4 Alliance has kindly agreed to pay for return buses for those travelling from Bristol to Bath, subject to sufficient interest (please see the registration form for details).

To attend the symposium please email Jess Eddy (the NC3RsRegional Programme Manager) for a registration form (jessica.eddy@nc3rs.org.uk).

Prizes are subject to a minimum of five poster submissions per category.
