Editorial WC11

Dear Subscribers,

This month brings with it the 11th World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences 2021 (WC11) that takes place from 23 August to 2 September.

The programme is extremely rich and varied with participation of numerous experts from across the globe. One highlight to look out for is the presentation of the Björn Ekwall Memorial Fund (BEMF) Award 2020 which goes to a very special member of our team, Sandra Coecke, a true champion of alternative methods and the 3Rs!

As the EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (EURL ECVAM) is celebrating our 30th birthday we couldn’t miss the chance to attend the congress! We will participate extensively both as session chairs and speakers and will give 16 presentations as described below.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Maurice Whelan, Head of EURL ECVAM
