In progress
With input from Dr. Marcel Frajblat of ICLAS, the series will highlight international perspectives to timely questions at the intersection of science, animal welfare, ethics, technology, facility and workforce realities, and global alignment of standards and expectations. Rather than predicting the future, the series is designed to identify and openly discuss critical questions facing the field, explore plausible directions, and foster dialogue across regions and career stages. Each session will engage in discussion and use live polls to surface priorities and help inform future webinars.
Description
In 2026, ICLAS marks its 70th anniversary, recognizing seven decades of advancing laboratory animal science worldwide through international engagement, high standards of animal care and use, and capacity building across regions. To mark this milestone, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Roundtable on Science and Welfare of Animals Involved in Research is launching a global webinar series focused on the open questions shaping laboratory animal science over the next 25 years.
