COMING UP

Innovative animal-free biomedical research methods are developing rapidly. Existing research mindsets and practices (facilities, grants, regulation and publications) are slowly moving along to include these innovations. Helpathons can help accelerate this in the most pleasant way. These venues are especially valuable in complex fields and locked in situations.

JOIN HELPATHON # 10: Animal-free innovation education. Festive 10th edition!

Innovative animal-free biomedical research methods are developing rapidly. Existing research mindsets and practices (facilities, grants, regulation and publications) are slowly moving along to include these innovations. Education is a key success factor.

What education on animal free innovation do you want to benefit from as a student, a biomedical researcher, a fundraiser, a biomedical company representative, a DEC member or a policy maker?

Let us know what your needs and ideas are during Helpathon #10 so that we can help Daniela Salvatori, chair of Transition Programme animal-free Innovations Utrecht, and Janneke Hogervorst, PETA UK international education hub for animal-free innovation further.

This Helpathon is a very special Helpathon, as we conclude a series of 10 Helpathons. We warmly invite you to participate in Helpathon # 10 on animal-free innovation education from December 13-14 and subsequently celebrate our 10th edition with a networking lunch and celebration webinar.

We believe Helpathons are peer to peer potentially transformative educational venues. Did you know that more than 250 people participated in Helpathons since 2017. Innovative animal-free biomedical research methods are developing rapidly since we started creating these open spaces to discover animal free research possibilities. Education is essential for scaling up the uptake of these new ways.

In Helpathon #3 Daniela asked for help to design her course on animal free methods. With this experience she is now wanting to take this education a big step further. If you want to help you can either join in person in the ‘Core team’ or online in the ‘Hybrid team’.
