“Promoting a transparent dialogue between neuroscientists and

society”

The use of animal models allowed sound progress in the field of neurosciences.
Today, concrete efforts are made in all experimental sciences to reduce and even
replace the use of animal models and researchers and institutions are encouraged
to develop the ability to communicate to society why and how animals are still
employed in scientific research, even when there is no doubt in considering them
as sentient beings.

This symposium aims to give tools to neuroscientists to obtain more benefit from
animal models, while doing less harm and to promote an open dialogue between
scientists and the public.

Speakers: Kirk Leech, Magda João Castelhano-Carlos, Silvina L Diaz, Jordi
