The Regulatory Advisory Board (RAB) of EUROoCS is supporting activities in relation to the regulatory aspect of Organ-on-Chip (OoC) approaches. The RAB has worked closely together with the EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (EURL ECVAM) – an integral part of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) – on compiling a set of resources. This resource list is expected to be used as a reference point for the EUROoCS community in the development of OoC models towards their qualification and regulatory acceptance.
The catalogue incorporates two different – but interconnected – set of resources:
The resource list and the Frequently Asked Questions will be presented for the first time during the EUROoCS Annual Meeting (4/7/22, Session I on Qualification & Standardization) and can be found and downloaded here:
Due to the overwhelming number of EUROoCS 2022 participants (close to 500 instead of 250 expected), due to the logistical difficulty to move these people by cable car, due to the limited capacity of La Bastille, due to the resumption of the Covid pandemic (preference for an open space), we had to modify the location of our gala dinner, but we kept the jazz band and our surprise!
The social evening with the gala dinner (dress code: casual) will now take place at the famous Olympic Stadium in Grenoble, surrounded by the mountains, which is a fabulous place to renew or start national or international friendships and has plenty room for all participants. More information will follow during the conference.
The Scientific Program Committee has developed an exciting program for the EUROoCS 2022 conference. From the 218 submitted abstracts 56 oral presentations have been selected and 162 posters will be presented. Six keynote lectures, two Special Sessions, a Special Poster Corner and a Prize Ceremony complete the program.
Last date to register for the conference is June 25th, because of the overwhelming number of conference participants the gala dinner is fully booked.
