EARA is now inviting abstract submissions for its international conference, Shaping the future of animal research communication, set to take place in Berlin, Germany, on 6-7 November 2025.
The conference, in close collaboration with our partners Max Delbrück Center, Charité Berlin and the Free University of Berlin, will bring together leading experts, researchers, policymakers, science communicators, and social and traditional media professionals to explore best practices and future directions in communicating animal research to the public and policymakers.
Submissions are encouraged to align with the conference’s core streams, which are:
Transparency and Openness in Animal Research: Institutional transparency initiatives; institutional public engagement strategies; and patient advocacy efforts.
Effective Science Communication and Media: Best practice for media engagement; social media strategies; science in traditional media; and responding to public concerns about animal research.
Legal Frameworks on Welfare and their Communication: Current and emerging legislation affecting animal research in Europe; importance of communicating 3R practices; European Commission mandatory outputs; genetically altered animals and their use in research.
Abstracts can be submitted via the official EARA Conference 2025 Abstract Submission Form. Submissions should clearly outline the project’s objectives, methods, results, and relevance to the conference streams.
The submission deadline is 25 February 2025. Registration for the conference will open at the end of March 2025.
