About

A participatory day of learning for AEC members, focusing on building skills, answering key questions and enabling discussions.

The day will include networking opportunities with representatives from other AECs and four discussion sessions covering:

Changing regulation: the review of The Code
The AEC and the culture of care
Non-sentient animals as replacement models
Research to support the 3Rs

This year we have a wonderful new venue, in the brand-new Health Translation Hub, Randwick. It's a beautiful space, and we are excited to be among the first to see it! AEC Members' Forum is fully catered and will be followed by a drinks reception.

A summary report including brief outputs from all the discussion sessions will be provided following the event.
