EARA CONFERENCE 2025
Shaping the future of animal research communication
We are thrilled to announce the first-ever European Animal Research Association (EARA) Conference, celebrating our 10th anniversary and bringing together EARA members, the wider biomedical community and science communicators to shape the future of animal research communication.
EARA invites abstract submissions from researchers, communication professionals, and institutions involved in animal research, science communication and science media. Submissions, though not required, are encouraged to align with the conference's core themes:
Stream 1: Transparency and Openness in Animal Research
Stream 2: Effective Science Communication and Media
Stream 3: Legal Frameworks on Welfare and their Communication
Successful submissions may lead to oral flash talks or poster sessions, allowing speakers to share their approaches with a diverse audience.
Now that many countries worldwide are embracing openness and transparency in animal research, our conference will explore the next steps to improve the sector’s approach to communication with the public and develop its understanding of this important topic.
Date: Thursday, 6 November – Friday, 7 November 2025
Location: Berlin, Germany
Venues: Charité Berlin & Max Delbrück Center
We will also address the challenges faced in regions where transparency has yet to be fully implemented and discuss strategies to support and engage these communities, ensuring that openness becomes a global standard.
EARA Executive Director, Kirk Leech, said: “EARA is very excited to be holding its first international conference in Berlin. This conference will bring together global experts on communications from various fields and across all media channels, the aim is to help the scientific community grasp the opportunities available to improve communications on animal research.”
So, join us at this landmark event to engage with leading voices in the field, participate in dynamic sessions and workshops, and network with professionals dedicated to advancing science communication.
Special Highlight: As a valued EARA member, you will benefit from a reduced registration fee, making it even easier to be part of this important conversation!
