The Medicines Evaluation Board (MEB) would like to announce the MEB Science Day 2020. The theme of the day will be “Replacement, reduction and refinement of animal studies”. 

Questions that will be discussed during the meeting include: What are the developments in 3R (replacement, reduction and refinement)? How can we leverage these developments in regulatory practice? What are the challenges and opportunities when it comes to animal reduction? What will the future bring?

Registration is possible via the  MEB Science Day 2020 registration form.
