Join the STEP4NAMs workshop and discover how New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)—from organoids and 3D-printed models to organ-on-chip and digital twins—are transforming drug and medical device testing across North-West Europe. This is your chance to:

• Hear from policy, industry, and academic experts on overcoming barriers to NAM adoption.
• Gain exclusive insights from the latest STEP4NAMs research and stakeholder interviews.
• Discuss real-world challenges, such as fragmented infrastructure and limited funding, and explore innovative strategies to overcome them.
• Connect with a cross-border network of innovators driving ethical, efficient, and sustainable healthcare.

Be part of shaping the future of BioPharma and MedTech innovation, strengthen your knowledge and help accelerate the adoption of methods that improve healthcare while reducing animal testing.
