ESLAV-ECLAM Summer School 2026 “Anaesthesia, Analgesia and Euthanasia”

The ESLAV-ECLAM Summer School 2026 “Anaesthesia, Analgesia, and Euthanasia” will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, as a 4-day course in 2026. The main streams, anaesthesia, analgesia and euthanasia will be developed through lectures, wet labs, case studies and interactive sessions. Participation will be limited to 20 participants to encourage engagement, maximize interaction, and create networking opportunities. The school format is designed to stimulate critical thinking and foster professional networking. World-renowned experts will be invited to deliver lectures and guide participants through the key topics. ESLAV and ECLAM provide education for colleagues working in the field of in vivo studies (e.g. designated veterinarians and animal welfare officers). Upon completion, participants will be equipped to disseminate the acquired knowledge within their respective institutions, with particular emphasis on supporting veterinarians and individuals responsible for educational and training initiatives, thereby enhancing the capacity of their colleagues in these essential domains.

Animal science ethics, design and communication workshops: Oceania 2026

This project will deliver paired workshops in three Asia-Pacific locations, to strengthen animal welfare oversight and improve communication about animal research. Each pair of workshops will provide tailored skills, practical resources, and new professional connections for participants in areas where access to such support is currently limited. By combining training on care and welfare with guidance on internal and external communication, the workshops will help institutions raise standards, build confidence, and share best practice in the responsible use of animals in science.

Application of funds to cover the expenditure of two workshops and training on LAS

I , as the current President of Sri Lanka Association for Laboratory Animal Science (SLALAS), request funds to conduct two workshops on Building a Competence-Based, Fatigue-Resilient Culture of Care and Globalizing Laboratory Animal Science: Advancing Research Through Communication, Collaboration, and Innovation.The first workshop will be to train young researchers, academics from a rural university in Sri Lanka , on building competence-based culture of care. this is a continuation of such workshops by the SLALAS. The second workshop is a new concept that aligns with the theme of this year, aiming to popularize ethical animal research, i.e., to globalize LAS through communication, collaboration, and innovation. this will be the first such workshop in Sri Lanka, to train and encourage researchers on this topic.

Attend a course in Genome engineering: CRISPR/Cas in cells and mice

I will use the funding to attend the course “Genome engineering: CRISPR/Cas in cells and mice” held by the EMBL Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg in December 2025. Through this course, I expect to learn how to design a robust plan for mouse model generation and to understand which aspects require particular attention throughout the process. The hands-on experience will help me become more independent and apply well-founded criteria when conducting experiments at my institution, directly enhancing the performance and quality of my PhD research. Additionally, the course is taught by leading experts in the field and offers a valuable opportunity to exchange scientific ideas with instructors and fellow participants. I am committed to sharing the knowledge and skills I gain with my colleagues and applying them to ongoing and future projects at my institution.

Supporting professional development of animal technologists via CLAST

The College of Laboratory Animal Science and Technology (CLAST) is a non-profit training provider that delivers Higher Education qualification for those working with animals in research. Our goal is to encourage greater participation from colleagues from outside the UK, notably from Africa, where there is a clear need for high quality training that reflects the current “state of the art” in the UK and the rest of Europe. We aim to fulfil this goal by offering units as CPD to individuals who would then be in a position to disseminate training to others. CLAST’s distance learning units are ideally suited for delivery to colleagues outside the UK, as it avoids the costs of travel and accommodation. Funding from LA Ltd would enable us to provide 3-6 bursaries.
