12th World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences

On behalf of the Canadian Organizing Committee, we are honoured and excited to extend a warm invitation for you to join us at WC12 in Niagara Falls, Canada in August 2023. In keeping with the themes and traditions of this iconic conference series, we are planning a multi-disciplinary scientific program incorporating every aspect of the 3Rs. Our theme is Regulatory Acceptance and Next-Gen Education—two of the most pressing issues in our field today. The World Congress has not met in-person since 2017 and we are expecting an international audience of 1000+ scientists, innovators, regulators, ethicists, and policy makers from academic, industry, regulatory, and non-profit sectors. WC12 will provide an excellent opportunity for you to engage with a diverse international audience—to showcase your latest and the greatest to the most relevant user groups in this field.

Hope you can join us to discuss and advance science, ethics, and the future of the 3Rs at a bucket-list destination!
