This is a course organised in collaboration between TUD Faculty of Biology and MPI-CBG that qualifies the participants with a suitable academic degree (i.e. biology) to carry out animal experiments (function A and D) and in combination with five years of experience using experimental animals to also act as a project leader in animal experimentation (function B).

Also non-academic staff (i.e. technicians) may participate the course as it can be used for obtaining the so-called “Ausnahmegenehmigung”.

The following modules will be provided in the course:

- Basic Module Theory (11.-15.8.2025) (~30h) - compulsory (this or equivalent course from recent years) for all participants to be able to join the Species Specific Module(s)

Species Specific PRACTICAL 18.-22.8.2025
Modules takes place twice (pending enough registrations), 1.5 days mouse and 1 day rat :
- (Monday full day, Tuesday morning mouse, Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning rat) 
- (Wednesday afternoon and Thursday whole day mouse, Friday whole day rat)
 

Course Language: English

Cost: 50€ / participant for the Basic Module Theory, and 50€ / participant for each additional Species Specific Module.

The Basic Module Theory is limited to max. 30 participants (capacity limit of the room).

Species Specific Module(s) are historically often overbooked, and registrations are accepted first come first served as only limited number of students can be taken. Priority is given to active/prospective BMS users. Also, we initially limit the amount of participants to max. two per lab, to allow equal opportunities for many labs. All registrations require manual approval.
