Workshop poster with an image of a hand holding an organ-on-a-chip. (Title) Understanding Challenges and Opportunities for the Transition Beyond Animal Experimentation in Research and Safety Testing: What‘s New? What‘s Next? Animal use in science and safety testing persists at high levels – despite decades of advocacy and innovation in alternatives. Apart from technical challenges, this also raises urgent philosophical, ethical, legal, and social-scientific issues. This two-day online workshop focuses on new perspectives that can help to understand the intersection of scientific and human obstacles that slow down transition. Join the discussions to broaden your perspective on the animal experimentation transition and help to explore pathways to a future of innovative, responsible science. Organised by Love Hansell, Radboud U; Simon Lohse, Radboud U; Nico D. Müller, U of Basel Online, 19–20 March 2026 13:30–17:00 CET each day Register by 17 March: tinyurl.com/nam-workshop
