The next workshop is to take place in 2010 EPAA 2009 Annual Conference November 6, 2009 Charlemagne Building, Brussels, Belgium The EPAA is a partnership between the European Commission and industry from seven sectors, all committed to joining forces for the promotion of the 3Rs in regulatory testing. This year, in particular dissemination of 3Rs will be addressed, including issues such as: The role that dissemination plays or should play in advancing research into 3Rs, sharing good practice, enhancing (international) regulatory acceptance and improving uptake of 3Rs techniques Information needs and information gaps The most efficient dissemination mechanisms Workshop: Implementation of Genomic Approaches with both In Vitro and In vivo Models for Use in Cancer Risk Assessment August 27-28 2009 Venice, Italy This workshop is a joint action of the carcinoGENOMICS project, NTC Netherlands, ecopa, ECVAM, Pfizer US, NIH/NIEHS US and ILSI Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI).
