About this Event

[UCL Internal Event Only]

The UCL 3Rs Committee is organising the second edition of the Replacement of Animals in Research (RoAR) Workshop. The goal of this initiative is to disseminate research throughout UCL focused on in vitro/in silico (animal-free) disease models, in alignment with the 3Rs principle, at an event where both leading experts and early-career researchers can present their findings and engage in relevant discussions. This edition will focus on models of neurological disorders. Agenda of speakers is available at the bottom of this event page - titles of talks will be announced soon.

This Workshop will be held on the 5th May 2026 and open to the entire UCL community.
