It’s nice to think that nature<br />
can delete the traces we leave, isn’t it?<br />
Our strategy of good growth: to design and manufacture eco-effective products that leave their mark<br />
on scientifi c research, in co-operation with nature.<br />
Tecniplast aims to arrive at guaranteeing products with zero CO2 emissions, creating a virtuous model for the Laboratory Animal sector. This<br />
entails adopting the appropriate technologies and processes which will positively impact the quality of life of millions of people.Tecniplast’s<br />
drive to measure and cut CO2 emissions constitutes a point of reference on a worldwide scale.<br />
Tecniplast is the fi rst company in the sector to certify the CO2 footprint on its products – an ambitious sign of respect for the<br />
environment in manufacturing.<br />

Welcome to Helsinki<br />
Dear Colleagues,<br />
On behalf of the Scientifi c and Organizing Committee, we have the pleasure to welcome<br />
you to the 11 th FE<strong>LAS</strong>A and 40 th <strong>Scand</strong>-<strong>LAS</strong> joint symposium ‘New Paradigms in Laboratory<br />
Animal Science’ on the 14 th -17 th of June 2010 in Helsinki, Finland. The conference venue is<br />
the Marina Congress Center, located along the seaside in downtown Helsinki.<br />
The FE<strong>LAS</strong>A symposium, organized every third year, is the largest European laboratory<br />
animal science meeting. <strong>Scand</strong>-<strong>LAS</strong> has been invited to join this conference and highlight<br />
its own anniversary with a special celebration.<br />
The FE<strong>LAS</strong>A symposium has grown into an event in which over a thousand scientists and<br />
other professionals from all over the world participate. The <strong>programme</strong> provides various<br />
topics of current interest, covering both scientifi c and practical aspects, presented as<br />
plenary lectures, short oral presentations and posters. Workshops are an important part<br />
of the <strong>programme</strong>, giving opportunity to valuable discussions and exchange of ideas<br />
between the participants.<br />
The large exhibition will allow you to get familiar with the most up-to-date equipment and<br />
technology, and in addition to the exhibition, there are exhibitor-organised seminars.<br />
Last but not least, there will be an enjoyable social <strong>programme</strong> to entertain you and help<br />
create social channels with old and new friends and colleagues.<br />
We welcome you cordially to enjoy the meeting and the white nights of northern Europe.<br />

Mart Saarma<br />
Neurotrophic factors: Biology and therapeutic potential for<br />
neurodegenerative diseases<br />
Mart Saarma is the Academy Professor and Director of the Centre of<br />
Excellence in Molecular and Integrated Neuroscience of the Academy<br />
of Finland at the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki,<br />
Finland. He has studied neurotrophic factors and their receptors<br />
in development and in neurodegenerative diseases. His group has<br />
discovered several GDNF family receptors and demonstrated that<br />
the RET receptor tyrosine kinase is the signalling receptor for GDNF.<br />
Recently, his group has discovered a new neurotrophic factor CDNF<br />
and shown that this protein very effi ciently protects and repairs dopamine neurons in<br />
animal models of Parkinson’s disease. Currently his group has developed GDNF and<br />
its receptor GFRa1 conditional knockout mice. Mart Saarma is the member of several<br />
academies and EMBO. He has received several domestic and international scientifi c<br />
prizes and awards. In 2009 he received the prestigious Nordic Science Prize.<br />
FE<strong>LAS</strong>A2010 Award & Plenary Lecture<br />
Michael FW Festing<br />

a D.Sc. from London University, UK and has a Ph.D. in quantitative<br />
genetics from Iowa State University, USA. He is a Chartered<br />
Statistician (CStat.) and is the author of over 250 scientifi c papers<br />
on laboratory animal genetics and related topics. Before retiring in<br />
2004 he worked in the MRC Toxicology Unit, Leicester University,<br />
and the MRC Laboratory Animals Centre. He is a frequent lecturer<br />
on experimental design and statistics for scientists seeking a project<br />
licence for work on animals under UK legislation and is a joint author<br />

Workshops<br />
1. How to prepare animal ethics part in 7. Framework Program applications<br />
Coordinators: David B. Morton & Derek Fry<br />
Applicants for EU FP7 projects are asked to meet certain scientifi c and ethical standards regarding any<br />
proposed animal use. The workshop will deal with aspects of both scientifi c and ethics scrutiny so that<br />
those attending will be more aware of what is required and what the reviewers will be looking for. It is<br />
hoped that laboratory animal scientists will be able to give valuable advice to those seeking funds and<br />
become an integral part of the submission process.<br />
2. Leadership in association management (Limit 30 participants)<br />
Coordinator: Ann Turner<br />
Historically, academic management courses concentrate on “problem solving” and traditional topics<br />
such as coordination, evaluation, program planning, budgeting, and so forth. While these management<br />
theories and practices are important, creating the environment for a positive culture is the foundation<br />
for a successful organization. One way to move toward this type culture is through a way of thinking<br />
called Appreciative Inquiry. A major assumption of Appreciative Inquiry is that in every organization<br />
something works. Positive change is brought about by identifying what works and learning how to<br />
do more of what works. Rather than focusing on what is wrong, Appreciative Inquiry focuses on what<br />
is right and builds on success. Managers in an organization practising Appreciative Inquiry seek to<br />
align the strengths of the organization in ways that make the weaknesses no longer relevant. This<br />
presentation will outline the basic assumptions of Appreciative Inquiry and provide examples of how to<br />
use the method in a laboratory setting.<br />
3. Implementing the 3Rs into facility routines<br />
Coordinator: Jussi Helppi<br />
Implementing the 3Rs principles has been common practice for many years in husbandry and<br />
experimental work with laboratory animals. But less effort has been put towards understanding the<br />
impact of an effi cient management of an animal facility as a whole. Lately, laboratory animal care<br />
programs are being challenged to do more with less. This has been the expectation of managers in other<br />
industries for decades. Proper management techniques applied in the daily running of well planned and<br />
built animal facilities can lead to better motivation of the workers and more effective running of the<br />
facility. This would result in more work being accomplished with less people that are better trained<br />
and motivated, leading to less mistakes and eventually to better animal well-being. Speakers at this<br />
roundtable have extensive background not only in designing and planning of modern animal facilities<br />
and programs, but also in running and managing them. The focus will be mainly on, but not limited to,<br />
transgenic mouse and core facilities. This session will also introduce concepts of “lean” management<br />
that have been adopted with success in leading companies in many other business sectors. Various<br />
examples of past and on-going “lean” initiatives in lab animal care will be presented with respect to<br />
improving productivity, customer satisfaction, animal welfare, occupational safety, and energy saving.<br />

4. Systematic reviews, including the enhanced 3Rs search<br />
Coordinators: Merel Ritskes-Hoitinga & Marlies Leenaars<br />
Why systematic reviews in laboratory animal science? Within the fi eld of animal experimentation it<br />
is not yet a common practice to perform systematic reviews (SR) or meta-analyses. These methods<br />
have been introduced to the clinical setting decades ago and have gained full acceptance as necessary<br />
steps for evidence-based medicine. In order to reach evidence-based laboratory animal science, SR<br />
and meta-analyses of animal studies need to be performed. This session will focus on why SR of animal<br />
experiments is urgently needed, how they need to be done, and which hurdles there are to overcome.<br />
Editorial boards need to ask for suffi cient details of animal studies; medical ethics committees need to<br />
ask for a full analysis of the animal studies before each clinical trial (because of patient safety); animal<br />
ethics committees should require a SR on the 3Rs (e.g. the choice of an animal model); and funding<br />
agencies ought to require and fi nance systematic reviews when funding animal studies. Because<br />
all animal studies differ in experimental set-up and many publications lack many essential details,<br />
systematic reviews are not yet possible, let alone meta-analyses. In order to be able to do meta-analyses,<br />
all individual data from studies need to be made available in future as well, just as in clinical studies (the<br />
trial register). In this session small discussion groups will focus on how to tackle and overcome these<br />
hurdles after the presentations.<br />
5. Communication to the public about developments in animal research<br />
Coordinator: Frauke Ohl & Jan van der Valk<br />
During the 50 years since the development of the 3Rs there have been many changes in the use of<br />
laboratory animals: the number of animals used for experimental research has been dramatically<br />
reduced through new replacement and reduction approaches, the housing and treatment of animals<br />
have been improved (refi ned) and, not least, the attitude of researchers has been shaped towards a<br />
more careful ethical consideration of animal experimentation. This is all the result of internal initiatives<br />
and of national and international regulations.<br />
However, it might be questioned whether the societal perspective on what ‘responsible use of<br />
experimental animals’ means is identical or even comparable with the scientifi c view. Listening to public<br />
discussions on animal experiments, there seems to be a general mistrust of scientists with respect<br />
to the responsible use of experimental animals. The public opinion seems to remain quite negative,<br />
irrespective of all the 3Rs developments in recent decades. Notably, surveys performed in different<br />
European countries show that public opinion is often based on a fundamental lack of information<br />
about animal experimentation or is based on one-sided information which is not always correct.<br />
Science, and especially Laboratory Animal Science, thus has to critically evaluate its own role in public<br />
communication/information.<br />
The workshop will focus on the role of Laboratory Animal Scientists in shaping the societal<br />
perspective and acceptance with respect to the use of experimental animals and the role of the 3Rs<br />
developments via communication with the public.<br />

6. Recognition and adequate reporting of clinical signs in laboratory animals<br />
Coordinator: Martje Fentener van Vlissingen<br />
This FE<strong>LAS</strong>A working group has been tasked to set up a glossary of clinical signs for better defi nition<br />
and reporting of clinical signs in laboratory animals. Apparently there is a need, because many<br />
establishments (in academia and industry) responded to a general call to share their glossaries and/<br />
or clinical score sheets. These are makeshift and differ quite substantially amongst themselves.<br />
Meanwhile, quite a few other institutions are starting initiatives to develop glossaries and score sheets,<br />
a process that could be strongly enhanced by the availability of a good glossary in the public domain.<br />
The challenge is to use terminology that is meaningful to animal care personnel and technicians<br />
as well as researchers, for optimal scientifi c gain and animal welfare (e.g. better application of preset<br />
humane endpoints). It is also a fi eld where industry and academia could provide mutual enhancement.<br />
Although the working group was not tasked to comment on the severity of clinical conditions, the<br />
results of the working group would be welcomed in a scheme for retrospective evaluation of severity,<br />
as the current schemes under discussion in the EU legislative process include severity estimates of<br />
procedures but not of outcomes. Thus, outcomes are still to be added.<br />
As the working group has identifi ed some typical fi elds where applications have been developed<br />
and would like to have input from the fi eld at this stage, a workshop on this topic would be very helpful.<br />
The main topics to be covered are:<br />
1. General considerations and approaches to data acquisition<br />
2. Clinical signs as part of phenotyping of genetically altered mouse models<br />
3. Clinical signs scored in pharmacology/toxicology<br />
4. Clinical signs in biomedical fi sh models<br />

8. Beyond housing.......adding value with the 3Rs<br />
Coordinators: Wolfgang Müller, Jörg Luft & Angela Bodey<br />
Providing primates with enriched, social housing conditions and refi ning laboratory procedures on<br />
regulatory toxicity studies requires special consideration. While ETS 123 provides us with a framework,<br />
to design and manage a facility to maximize opportunities for refi nement you have to consider factors<br />
such as the compatibility (age and ranking) of the animals, the length of time the animals are in the<br />
facility, catching and handling the animals and the procedures the animals are exposed to. There is no<br />
‘one size fi ts all’ approach; it is a process that begins at the breeding facility and continues throughout<br />
the animal’s life. How do we advance the refi nement of experiments and reduce the use of primates<br />
while meeting the rigorous regulatory requirements of safety assessment studies?<br />
The aim of this workshop is to examine the factors that impact on the welfare and scientifi c<br />
integrity of regulatory toxicity studies in primates. Through a series of presentations we will discuss<br />
how the role of the breeders, the design of the housing and the contribution of training the animals<br />
and technicians handling the animals will impact on the outcome of studies and the contribution these<br />
factors make to advancing animal welfare. We will look back to past obstacles, address current hurdles<br />
and look forward to future challenges and discuss the need to balance reduction and refi nement. The<br />
workshop will conclude with a round table discussion where industry practices can be shared.<br />

9. Ethical footprint of animal studies<br />
Coordinators: Anna Olsson, Aurora Brønstad & Rony Kalman<br />
The educational aim of this workshop is to explore the ethical evaluation of proposals, identify key<br />
concerns and disagreements over selected case studies and the differences and similarities in how<br />
different collections of people handle similar cases.<br />
The focus will be on advanced protocol review and other issues such as what to look for in a<br />
protocol that includes relieved and/or unrelieved pain and distress; how to recognize and evaluate the<br />
level of pain and distress; appropriate end points stated in the protocol; special environmental conditions<br />
required because of potential pain and/or distress.<br />
The workshop is intended for individuals concerned with science and appropriate animal welfare.<br />
This may include experienced IACUC members and administrators, principal investigators, attending<br />
veterinarians, regulatory personnel and laboratory animal care staff.<br />
The working format will allow small groups to discuss one or two case studies as if they were an<br />
ethics committee, then all groups will get together and present their conclusions followed by a general<br />
discussion.<br />
The workshop can only allow for a limited number of participants.<br />

Facts and fi ction about Helsinki<br />
Helsinki, the capital of the Republic of Finland, is a modern city with over half a million residents<br />
and is situated on the Baltic Sea. In 2000 Helsinki was an offi cial European City of Culture<br />
while celebrating its 450th anniversary. Helsinki together with the neighbouring cities forms<br />
the Helsinki metropolitan area with more than a million inhabitants. Helsinki is unique among<br />
Northern European cities. The lifestyle in the second-most northern capital city in the world is full<br />
of contrasts and activities in the form of hundreds of events and friendly people. Helsinki’s identity<br />
has been formed by cultural infl uences from both the East and West.<br />
The archipelago that surrounds Helsinki with hundreds of tiny islands creates an idyllic<br />
environment for cruises and other water sports, as well as sightseeing.<br />
Over 450 years of history, several architectural layers and the impact of different periods can be<br />
clearly seen in Helsinki. Finnish design has also made the country’s capital city world famous. The<br />
beauty of the surrounding nature blends seamlessly together with high-tech achievements, while<br />
old traditions mix with the latest contemporary trends. The city centre has many beautiful parks,<br />
and the nearby forests offer an ideal setting for peaceful and quiet walks.<br />
Helsinki’s rhythm is laid back yet at the same time refreshingly active in terms of both the number<br />
and quality of restaurants and nightclubs.<br />

The reason for washing is<br />
to leave everything clean, isn’t it?<br />
IWT is the leading manufacturer of eco-design washing machines.<br />
In the world of design and production of washing machines, IWT can justifi ably boast<br />
its pre-eminence. We are fully aware that by using less water, less energy and less detergents<br />
we reduce overall environmental impact. Supporting research has a meaning only if we are<br />
aware that the energy resources of our planet are not unlimited. IWT machines are conceived and<br />
realized according to eco-design rules - “from cradle to grave”. They take into account the impact<br />
on the environment throughout product development, from design to construction, through<br />
to use and fi nal disposal. With no compromises on the desired results, performances are always<br />
at the highest levels. At IWT environmental and social impact becomes itself<br />
a part of the process of research and development and the quest for innovation.<br />
