Education and training in laboratory animal science is essential to ensure the correct use of laboratory animals and the high quality of experimental results. Researchers in charge of planning and carrying out experiments and their colleagues (junior researchers, graduate students, etc.) should be well prepared in the biomedical sciences (biology, medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacology, etc.). They should also be trained in laboratory animal science and should have knowledge of the ethical aspects of experimentation and the well-being of animals. In fact, in Europe this qualification is compulsory. The aim of this course is to contribute toward disseminating information about Italian and European laws on this topic and to train the users of laboratory animals with regard to the biology of the species used as well as to laboratory techniques, zoonosis, major animal pathologies, etc. This is even more important for those who use laboratory animals for research related to the improvement of human health. According to the FELASA "Recommendations", the course consists of 40 hours of theoretical and practical training for individuals with university degrees in different scientific disciplines who are part of research projects in which laboratory animals are used
L'obiettivo del corso è quello di formare i ricercatori e gli operatori del settore ad un uso corretto dell'animale da laboratorio. Ciò è quanto viene richiesto sia dalla normativa italiana che regolamenta la sperimentazione animale sia dalla normativa europea in materia di protezione degli animali utilizzati a fini sperimentali o ad altri fini scientifici. E', infatti, ormai riconosciuto che l'educazione ed il training nella Scienza dell'Animale da Laboratorio siano elementi essenziali per un uso corretto degli animali da laboratorio e per la qualità dei risultati sperimentali nella ricerca scientifica Il corso prevede 40 ore di formazione teorico-pratica in accordo con quanto previsto dalle "raccomandazioni" della Federation European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA) per tutti coloro che, a vario titolo, partecipano a progetti di ricerca che prevedono l'utilizzo degli animali da laboratorio. Il corso è stato accreditato FELASA n° 023/09

Abstract
Education and training in laboratory animal science is essential to ensure the correct use of laboratory animals and the high quality of experimental results.

They should also be trained in laboratory animal science and should have knowledge of the ethical aspects of experimentation and the well-being of animals. In fact, in Europe this qualification is compulsory. The aim of this course is to contribute toward disseminating information about Italian and European laws on this topic and to train the users of laboratory animals with regard to the biology of the species used as well as to laboratory techniques, zoonosis, major animal pathologies, etc. This is even more important for those who use laboratory animals for research related to the improvement of human health.
