In 2026, the Swiss 3Rs Day comes to Basel – the heart of Swiss biomedical research. This year, we focus on immunology and infectious disease, two fields where scientific progress is urgently needed and where new approaches can significantly advance the Replacement, Reduction and Refinement of animal use.
The event brings together researchers, animal welfare specialists, clinicians, policymakers, and 3Rs innovators to explore:
Human-relevant models, from organoids to microphysiological systems, that help us understand immune responses and host–pathogen interactions
Refined preclinical approaches that improve animal welfare while strengthening scientific outcomes
Reduction strategies, including data sharing, advanced study design and new computational tools
Progress in Replacement technologies, including in vitro and in silico models for vaccine and drug discovery
The future of 3Rs implementation across Swiss universities, industry, and hospitals
The 3Rs Day 2026 will feature experts covering topics ranging from basic and applied research to industry applications, as well as opportunities to connect with colleagues driving change in Switzerland and beyond.
Check out the 3Rs Day 2026 Poster, and take a look at the current programme – updates forthcoming!
Poster Presentations & Poster Prize (500 CHF)
Abstract submission for poster presentations is open until April 12, 2026 (23:59 CET). Please note that the deadline will not be extended. All submissions will be reviewed by the scientific committee.
Upon acceptance, authors will have the opportunity to be shortlisted for the Poster Prize. To be considered, the final poster design must be uploaded as a PDF to the Converia platform by May 10, 2026.
After evaluation by the scientific committee, the 3 top posters will be notified by May 25, 2026 (at the latest) and invited to deliver a 3-minute flash presentation during the event. The audience will then vote for their favourite presentation, and the winner will receive a 500 CHF Poster Prize.
