Score sheets are a vital part of every animal experimentation, but they need to be tailored to the specifics of the experiment in order to work efficiently.

The participants will learn:

- the importance of using a score sheet

- how to prepare their own score sheet step by step

Working groups will be organized after an introduction to the principles of the score sheet and the establishment of a “virtual” score sheet all together.

This one-day workshop is designed for researchers at all levels but especially for those who are in the process of writing an animal experimental license.

The participants must be involved in animal experiments (as experimentator, study director, Cantonal commission, KVET, …)

This course is recognized as one day continuing education in Switzerland by the Federation of Swiss Cantonal Veterinary Officers (VSKT).

Universities in Switzerland: CHF: 250.-
Industry, external person and institutions from abroad: CHF 380.-

Please note that we will charge you the full fees in case of a late cancellation of the course (within 3 weeks before start of the course) or in case of absence. It is the responsibility of the participant to inform the organizer of the course about the cancellation before the deadline of 3 weeks before the course to avoid the billing of the course. To charge for cancellations is common practice by other providers, too. The new proceedings for education courses became necessary due to an increasing extent of short term cancellations in training modules.

Insurance is responsibility of each participant.

Data from course evaluations, collected anonymously, may be used for the preparation of institutional reports (for example, the annual report of our institute) as well as for fulfilling requests from cantonal or federal authorities. They may also be used for scientific publications.

If registration data are used, they will be fully anonymized to ensure compliance with legal data protection requirements.

There is no time limit for retaining these data. Non-anonymized registration data are stored on secure UZH servers that meet the university’s data security standards. These non-anonymized data (evaluations of courses) do not pose any risk, as they cannot be linked to any individual person or to any specific institution or company.
