Kick-off session education hub on animal-free innovation

Daniela Salvatori, chair of Transition Programme animal-free Innovations Utrecht, and Janneke Hogervorst (PETA UK) invite you to a two day kick-off session for a global education hub on animal-free innovations. This hub helps facilitate the creation, collection, spreading and uptake of knowledge and practices on education in animal-free innovation for both students and professionals, within and outside of academia. 

We invite everyone with an interest in animal-free education and education about animal-free research. You can have a background in e.g. medicine or veterinary medicine, life sciences, toxicology or pharmacy. You can be a student, young scientist, established scientist, teacher, trainer, educational curriculum developer, etc. You can be affiliated with academia, industry, regulatory bodies, NGOs, etc.  

On 29 and 30 November, we are organising a kick-off session to make the hub happen. In this session, we want to explore with you what the hub should look like, what it can do, and who will and can do it. We’ll talk together, dream together, come up with plans and form a network to make it happen.

There are three ways you can join:        

• You can be part of the core group and join us at the venue in Utrecht in the Netherlands on the 29th and 30th of November (max 15 people).
• You can become a potential hub launching partner and co-develop the hub by joining the hybrid co-creation sessions on the 29th (15h00-18h00 CET) and the 30th (9h00-18h00 CET). We will be imagining how the hub could work and agree on practical next steps.
• You can be a future user of the hub, and we can interview you up front to listen to your ideas and requirements.
