Please join us on Tuesday June 21, 2022, for this virtual conference to meet the first ART awardees that will present their exciting projects and learn more about the next ART SciComm and 3R award scheme for early career scientists. In addition, invited keynote speakers will share their expertise in the 3Rs and SciComm.

We invite all young life scientist organizations and individuals with a vested interest in SciComm and the 3Rs to participate at this conference and discuss their activities with the aim to share expertise from different countries and consider the potential benefits of cross-border networking.
