On April 24, 2026 – World Laboratory Animal Day – the annual Proefdiervrij Event will take place at CORPUS, near Leiden. During this event scientists, companies, pioneers, investors, and students come together to take a giant step towards the implementation of animal-free innovation. The models are available; the insights are there to take away; and the lessons have been learned \u2013 so now it\u2019s time for implementation, scaling up, validation, and taking decisive action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you also feel lost occasionally, because there are so many initiatives \u2013 and do you no longer know where to look? We will take you by the hand by creating order out of the chaos. We filter the information overload and show what is truly important for your professional practice or research. Listen to your need to accelerate and, together with us, set the pace towards an animal-free future!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

Why you have to be there<\/h2>\n

Of course, animal-free innovation is important, and we want to showcase everything that is currently happening. However, we also see the focus shifting: from \u2018this must change\u2019 to \u2018this can change\u2019! At the Proefdiervrij Event 2026, we will focus on the next steps. What do you need to move forward in working animal-free? We help you bring order in the chaos of regulations, tune in on the need for validation, and look closely into implementation possibilities. Your challenge is our fuel. We help you on your way with accurate information on animal-free models, techniques, financing, and regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The program & location<\/h2>\n

The Proefdiervrij Event 2026 will take place \u2013 just like last year \u2013 at CORPUS, an interactive museum in Oegstgeest (near Leiden) completely dedicated to the human body. For us, this is the ideal place to demonstrate that animal-free innovations are more ethical for animals, but also essential for better, human-centered research methods. In this unique museum \u2013 which literally represents a journey through the body \u2013 it becomes immediately clear why the future of research must and can be animal-free!<\/span><\/p>\n

This event is all about action: not just talking about innovation, but working on the next step \u2013 the implementation and widespread use of animal-free technologies. During the event, you can expect the following program components:<\/span><\/p>\n
