ORCHID Final Meeting 23 September 2019
Leiden, the Netherlands
23 September, 2019
The Horizon 2020 FET-Open project Organ-on-Chip In Development (ORCHID) is close to completion. On 23 September 2019 the achievements of ORCHID and future perspectives will be discussed during an invitational final ORCHID meeting in Leiden, the Netherlands.
39 participants from 14 different countries, including scientists from academia and industry, regulators, policy makers and patient organizations meet to discuss the Organ-on-Chip roadmap to further develop and implement the Organ-on-Chip technology in practice. In this context the European Organ-on-Chip Society (EUROoCS), that has been established as one of the outcomes of ORCHID, will continue community building and increasing awareness, and will initiate and support activities to stimulate adoption of this innovative technology.

More Knowledge with Fewer Animals on Tour
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
13 December, 2018
What is the state of the art of animal free testing of today and which innovations do we need in the near future? How do innovative models, like organoids, organ-on-chip and Microphysiological Systems (MPS) contribute to medical science? What do we gain and what is still out of reach when using animal free testing strategies? And what is needed to make future innovations possible?
2nd European Organ-on-Chip Conference
Graz, Austria
