The aim of the animal experiment application is to obtain approval for an animal experiment. However, writing an animal experiment application is not trivial. The ethical and scientific background of the research work and methodological details must be clearly defined and precisely described. The devil is often in the details, or the same mistakes are made again and again.
This continuing education module tries to help here. Problematic aspects are discussed and typical mistakes are revealed. In addition to an improved understanding of the application process, participants will learn some practical hints and tips.
Speakers at this module are the Animal Welfare Officers of the University of Zurich and of the ETH Zurich as well as representatives of the Animal Experimentation Commission Zurich.
