We invite you to take part in a webinar on the OECD Guidance Document on Good In Vitro Method Practices and on culturing of cells in a xeno-free medium for which the recipe has been published and is freely available for use.
The webinar will take place on 22 May, 12.00–13.00 CEST.
We are pleased to welcome two Swedish researchers who will share insights from their work with cell cultures and quality assurance:
Kristina Fant, toxicology consultant and member of the Swedish National Committee, previously worked with validation studies at the Swedish EU-NETVAL laboratory RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and was one of the authors of the first version of the OECD Guidance Document on Good In Vitro Method Practices (GIVIMP).
Stina Oredsson, Professor Emerita at Lund University, has developed the Oredsson Universal Replacement (OUR) xeno-free cell culture medium and published the recipe and protocol openly.
After the presentations, there will be time for questions from the audience.

We have now confirmed the invited speakers and updated the programme on our website. Please visit our website for more information and to register.
The Swedish 3Rs Center and the National Committee will be present at the Scand-LAS Conference, 26–29 May in Copenhagen.
Sara Barr, Research Coordinator at the University of Gothenburg and member of the National Committee, will give a talk on the Committee's statement on furnishings and enrichment for laboratory animals on Wednesday 27 May, during the afternoon session on Models and Methods (Hangar 4).
We would be very pleased to connect and catch up with you during the conference.
Save the date: Meeting for Animal Technicians
On 18 November, 13.00–15.00 CET, we will host a digital meeting for animal technicians working in Sweden.
Save the date in your calendar, and feel free to contact the 3Rs Center at 3Rcenter@jordbruksverket.se if you have suggestions for topics you would like to discuss.
Global 3Rs Awards
AAALAC International and the IQ Consortium invite researchers to apply for the Global 3Rs Awards, which recognise innovative contributions advancing the 3Rs.
Applications are based on a nominated research paper that has been published in a peer‑reviewed journal within the past three years.
The European Partnership for Alternative Approaches to Animal Testing (EPAA) invites researchers to apply for its 3Rs Science Prize, awarded every two years. The prize recognises a scientist working on alternative methods for regulatory testing purposes who has made an outstanding contribution to the 3Rs.
The Swedish 3Rs Center is the executive body of the National Committee
for the Protection of Animals used for Scientific Purposes and part of the
Swedish Board of Agriculture.
