Abstracts
LASA are inviting abstract submissions for poster & brief presentation showcasing scientific innovation in animal research, which will interest and excite your colleagues and inspire refined research.
We would also welcome posters under the theme “Husbandry, welfare and care refinements – little steps that make a big impact”, with an option to provide this as a 3-minute poster talk on Monday, 17 November.
A poster prize will be kindly sponsored by Envigo/Inotiv.
We strongly encourage the participation of young animal technologists and early career researchers, including PGT students, to present any preliminary, pilot and/or ongoing current work. This is a great opportunity to discuss your work with other colleagues in the field.
Please download the abstract submission form (via MySociety) and submit via the link at the top of this page by Monday, 15 September 2025
