The 3RCC Early Career Researchers Network (ECRN) unites young researchers that approach animal experimentation from different angles. It offers the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with other scientists developing different experimental models. Whether you are working with animal species, establishing in vitro models, refining veterinary procedures, tailoring statistical methods, or inventing new in silico methods, you have a place in the network!
