ETPLAS - EDUCATION & TRAINING PLATFORM FOR LABORATORY ANIMAL SCIENCE
While Education and Training (E & T) under Directive 2010/63/EU is the responsibility of the Member States, harmonisation and mutual recognition of training programs are important assets for pan-European scientific exchange and mobility of personnel. For this reason, ETPLAS was established as an information portal to enable information sharing and communication between training providers, approval/accrediting bodies, employers and EU Member-State authorities.Following modules of e-learning courses on EU-functions defined by Directive 2010/63/U are hosted on ETPLAS website and free to enroll:
