Use of Animals in Research - Conference - June 2012

The Jeanne Marchig International Centre for Animal Welfare Education (JMICAWE) in collaboration with the School of Law, Northumbria University, Newcastle is to run the following conference in June 2012:
Animal Welfare and the EU: Ethics, Law and Science in the Use of Animals in Research
at the School of Law, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne
on 14th and 15th June 2012 (with a public event on the evening of the 13th June).

New EU legislation (Directive 2010/63/EU) – which must be implemented in the UK by 2013 – has the potential to shape attitudes towards the use of animals in research.

This conference represents an important forum within which the issues raised by the Directive for ethics, law and science can be debated.
