Committee on Animals in Research (CARE)
January 18, 2012
The FENS Committee on Animals in Research (CARE) and the Network of European Neuroscience Schools (NENS) announce a joint initiative aimed at disseminating information about the ethical and legal requirements concerning the use of animals in scientific research in Europe. Scientists from CARE are available to offer their expertise to organize ad hoc sessions on request, at any institutions, which have a relevant PhD program.
The committee will introduce students to the constraints that the new EU Directive 63-2010 will place on research, as compared to international regulations across the world. All initiatives to host a session from groups of students, and professors of PhD program committees are highly welcome!
Requests should be addressed to Sonia Bolea, local NENS coordinator (nens_office@unil.ch) and to Tanja Butzek (tanja.butzek@fens.org).
Roberto Caminiti, Chair of CARE
Jean-Pierre Hornung, Chair of NENS
