The congress is organized by Central-East European FELASA member associations: ARSAL (Romania), Balt-LASA (Baltic States), CLASA (Czech Republic), CroLASA (Croatia), GALAS (Georgia), HLASA (Hungary), HSBLAS (Greece), ILAF (Israel), and PolLASA (Poland) and guarantees an international participation and interesting topics, representing common interests in the furtherance of all aspects of laboratory animal science (LAS) in Europe and beyond.

The goal of this important event is to create a meeting that will reflect local laboratory animal science (LAS) needs in Europe and beyond, enhance the culture of care in national research communities and facilitate the continuing education of members.

Indeed, CELASC advocates responsible scientific conduct towards animals in the life sciences, with particular emphasis on ensuring animal welfare.

During the conference important LAS topics will be discussed, such as 3Rs and welfare, Communication, Animal behaviour, Education and training, Animal facility design, BSL 2, 3, 4 facilities, Health monitoring and Severity assessment and classification; key note speakers will be extraordinary Opinion Leaders in LAS such as Jan-Bas Prins Director of the Biological Research Facility of the Francis Crick Institute, London, and Professor of Laboratory Animal Science at Leiden University in the Netherlands and Honorary Professor of University College London and Anna Olson a researcher at i3S – University of Porto, where she coordinates the Laboratory Animal Science research group.

Tecniplast will be present as usual with a prominent stand and will organize interesting workshops on the latest technological news regarding LAS. Do not hesitate to contact our local representative for more information on our workshops.

Tecniplast would like to invite you to this important event, which will set new boundaries in terms of science with its scientific program (https://www.celasc.org/preliminary-programme/).

We look forward to welcoming you to our booth - with prosecco and parmesan, of course! - and to Prague, a wonderful city which will help you to find the meeting even more beneficial and enjoyable.
