As an overarching theme for designing the scientific program, we have chosen: “3Rs in transition: from development to application”. This has been inspired by the observation that in the last decade tremendous progress has been made in a wide range to technologies (stem cells, organ-on-a-chip, genomics, micro-engineering, …) all supportive for realizing non-animal test models of the highest grade and boosting scientific research in the 3Rs, and in particular Replacement, to a yet unmet level, whilst acceptance of such new-generation models by the various application domains is still quite low. We aim to explore this seeming discrepancy, not only in the field of chemical safety testing, but also in vaccine development, and certainly also in creating relevant human disease models. We hope that you will find this inspiring for your own efforts in the 3Rs.
