The programme will include invited presentations, early-career and abstract-selected talks, poster presentations, industry innovation spotlights, networking opportunities and a guided tour of the Large Animal Research and Imaging Facility.

Dates: 15–16 December 2026

Location: Easter Bush Campus, University of Edinburgh

Registration fees: £75 for Laboratory Animal Science Association (LASA) members and £150 for non-members
