BelTox, IC-3Rs and INVITROM are pleased to announce that this year there will be a Joint Symposium & Workshop on the 3Rs principle. The Symposium & Workshop will take place on the 21st and 22nd of November 2019 at the Brussels Health Campus of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Jette.

The meeting will focus on innovative tools for 3Rs testing with sessions exploring the strategies and existing in vitro and in silico methodologies for human toxicology and risk assessment, 3R approaches in ecotoxicology and the use of artificial intelligence in risk assessment. All attendees, but particularly young scientists at doctoral and postdoctoral level, are encouraged to submit abstracts for the posters and oral presentation sessions, in order to highlight current, cutting-edge research. The symposium will be followed by a complimentary Workshop for young scientists that will focus on designing research projects according to the 3Rs principles.
