FENS is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the upcoming FENS webinar on “Brain Research Needs Animal Models: Let’s Talk About It!”!
How easy is it to communicate the needs of researchers to the general public, especially when animals are involved? This 60-minute online event aims to teach how to communicate the use of animals in scientific research responsibly and transparently.
Christina Dalla and Roman Stilling will equip attendees with the best tools to effectively communicate their research to a broader audience when using animal models. They will also emphasise the importance of open science practices, the existing research policies on animal research in the European Union, and their impact on the broader brain research community, including individuals affected by brain conditions.
When is it taking place?
15 June, 13:00-14:00 CEST
