Registration Details
This NC3Rs NAMs Network event will focus on how new approach methodologies (NAMs)* can move from scientific innovation into real-world use in industry and regulatory decision making to replace the use of animals in safety testing.
The meeting will bring together method developers, regulators, industry, contract research organisations and policy stakeholders to explore the practical steps needed to accelerate uptake and implementation of NAMs across sectors. There will be a particular focus on capability building for method developers and progressing NAMs towards industry use and regulatory acceptance, recognising differences across sectors and regulatory regimes.
The full agenda will be confirmed in May, with sessions covering:
- Building partnerships and facilitating industry uptake: Including overcoming barriers to commercialisation, insights into the current UK preclinical models landscape (including an overview of the newly developed Translational Readiness Framework) and a showcase of new partnerships that are supporting the wider application of NAMs.
- Progressing methods towards regulatory acceptance: Featuring updates and discussion on current UK and international initiatives on validation, qualification and regulatory acceptance of NAMs.
- NAMs in action: Showcasing real world case studies of how NAMs can or could be implemented across sectors.
Poster abstracts showcasing NAM development, updates on relevant initiatives supporting their application and uptake, case studies and collaboration calls are welcomed. Abstracts can be submitted through the registration page.
Registration closes: Thursday 4 June.
About the NC3Rs NAMs Network
The NC3Rs NAMs Network is a community of over 700 researchers, developers, industry end-users and regulators working to accelerate the use of new approach methodologies – replacement technologies for use in toxicology and safety assessment. Network events promote dialogue and information exchange between members, supporting the formation of new collaborations and sharing technologies and experience to maximise their scientific and 3Rs impact. We encourage stakeholders from across the NAMs sector to join the Network, where amongst other benefits you will receive early notification of relevant events and initiatives.

Registration information
Capacity for this event is limited and registrations will be confirmed on a first-come-first-served basis, please register early to secure your place. To ensure an effective and engaging event for all attendees, registrations will be checked for relevance to the NC3Rs NAMs Network remit. You do not need to be a Network member to register, but please note that this meeting is aimed at those interested and with expertise in developing, validating and implementing new approach methodologies* in toxicology and regulatory sciences.
Please register for the event using an institutional email address. Registrations will be reviewed in line with our terms and conditions and policy on attendance at NC3Rs events (PDF).
* We use the term new approach methodologies specifically to refer to full and partial replacement approaches for assessing chemical or drug toxicity. Learn more about NAMs terminology.
