Event details
- When
- July 2, 2026 09:00–15:30 CEST
This workshop will explore the key elements required to establish and operate high-quality preclinical imaging facilities. Through presentations from experts in academia and industry, participants will learn about the European regulatory framework for animal research, implementation of the 3Rs, quality standards, and best practices for responsible facility management.
The programme will also highlight how preclinical imaging supports translational research, from drug discovery to clinical applications, and showcase multimodal imaging workflows combining complementary technologies.
The workshop is intended for imaging facility staff and researchers that are part of Euro-BioImaging Nodes.
