Free webinar "COVID-19 PANDEMIC & LABORATORY ANIMAL SCIENCE: MANAGEMENT OF FACILITIES, ETHICS AND WELFARE. GOOD PRACTICES AND LESSONS FOR THE FUTURE"

The COVID-19 global pandemic has presented major challenge at all levels, including the management of laboratory animal facilities and the development of research projects involving animals. In this scenario, Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell'Abruzzo e del Molise "G. Caporale" (IZSAM) and Fondazione Guido Bernardini (FGB) bring their experts together to share knowledge and experiences in response to the emergency situation. Different approaches by some leading European research Institutions or pharmaceutical industries are presented and discussed, focusing on common denominators as well as differences in relation to animal species, research areas, location, network (i.e. joint studies).

The webinar will be divided in different steps:

a preliminary survey investigating main expectations
a first session focused on presentations from experts
a second interactive session organised in Q&A
a follow-up document collecting recommendations for the future
