The Alfred Research Alliance invites researchers from across The Alfred precinct to attend an information briefing on the ANZCCART Australian Openness Agreement on Animal Research and Teaching.

This session will provide an overview of why the Alliance is becoming a signatory to the agreement, and what this will mean for researchers working across the precinct.

The Openness Agreement is designed to promote greater transparency and public understanding of the role of animals in research, while supporting open and informed discussion about research practices.

Professor Terence O'Brien, Director, Research Bayside Health and Alfred Care Group

Bella Lear, international expert and CEO of Understanding Animal Research Oceania

Ursula McGinnes, Executive Director, Alfred Research Alliance Secretariat

Date: Tuesday, 13 October 2026
Time: 12.30 pm to 1.30 pm
Venue: Minderoo Foundation Education Space, Ground Floor, Paula Fox Cancer and Melanoma Centre.
