Information sessions
Animal ethics information sessions are held periodically. If your research involves working with animals we encourage you to attend a session to find out more about:
- Animal ethics – introduction and history
- Legislation regarding animal use in research and teaching
- Responsibilities of investigators who use animals
- The ACEC application process.
These information sessions are aimed primarily at Higher Degree Research students; however, course advisors and supervisors are also welcome to attend.
