International Course on Laboratory Animal Science

The International Course on Laboratory Animal Science at BSRC A.FLEMING in Athens will be obligatory to those ESRs where an animal welfare course is not available locally. The programme duration is one week and is organized on an annual basis by the A.FLEMING (http://www.animalfacility.eu). The course includes a theoretical understanding on the needs, the limitations and the ethical issues in animal experimentation. A theoretical and practical course in statistics and management of an experiment involving animals will be programmed. A practical session involving animal handling will be included. The workshop will end with a written test and a certificate will be delivered to successful ESRs including appropriate ECTS grades.
