This year is, of course, no exception!For those of you who attended, I hope you had both a very informative and educational event and at the same time managed to do some useful networking and enjoy some of the social aspects of the conference. I really loved it this year – especially as it contained some subjects that we have not discussed before in any detail, but which I consider to be very important and likely to be much more in uential and relevant topics in the future. This included the sentience of other species – a topic Penny Hawkins ran a workshop on and which I attended, an issue which will become increasingly pertinent in the future. Other matters I was pleased to see addressed were education and to be given the opportunity to hear and address the changes the Home Of ce are making to the implementation of ASPA. I was also impressed to see so many posters, addressing a great variety of themes on display this year. I think my favourite part of the social side of Congress was the karaoke, well done to everyone who participated!The Congress report is on pages 15 – 58, I have tried to include images that give the best  avour of everything that happened in Aberdeen.We also have a report from AS-ET on pages 60 – 64, it looked like a very successful meeting for them. I am also going to take this opportunity to remind you, please support them if you possibly can and to remind you, if you cannot get funding for a course or something else educational which you wish to be involved in, they may be able to help with funding.Until next month,Dear Readers

BulletinJune 2024 • 15Congress 2024 ReportCongress 2024 took place in Aberdeen – The Granite City. Aberdeen got this nickname from its sparkling granite buildings. It is a port city in north east Scotland, where the Dee and Don rivers meet the North Sea.Our venue for 2024 was P&J Live, a state-of-the-art event venue located very close to Aberdeen airport. One of the many positive reasons the Congress Committee chose the venue is its sustainability credentials. As part of the design, the venue has its own innovative energy centre which uses food and garden waste from around Aberdeen. This is then digested in an anaerobic plant and the resulting methane hydrogen gas is harvested and used to power the energy centre which supplies heating, cooling and power, not only to P&J Live but also to the onsite hotels.

Bulletin16 • June 2024The venue is celebrating its ﬁ fth birthday this year, so is still relatively new. Feedback indicated that our delegates were very happy with this venue and with the food served during the event.As always, Congress 2024 began in earnest with the AGM on Tuesday evening. This was chaired by Penny Hawkins, who is one of the IAT Vice Presidents.

BulletinJune 2024 • 57As in previous years, a feedback survey was sent out to all delegates following the event. Thank you to all those who completed the survey. It is important that the Congress Committee hear back as to what was good and what was not so good about a venue and the Congress programme.Feedback in general was excellent this year. Whilst we realise that Aberdeen is not exactly a central location, it did give those living in more northern areas a shorter trip to Congress. The weather was also kind to us, in that it did not snow – unlike Eastbourne that fateful year, when we had snow on the beach and people stuck in cars due to snow drifts!The majority of survey respondents felt the location was good and that the food and refreshments were also to a high standard. The scientiﬁ c programme, workshops and posters all received an excellent rating, as did the social events. Value for money was rated as good and the trade exhibition and overall satisfaction were both regarded as excellent.As in previous years, a feedback survey was sent out to all delegates following As in previous years, a feedback survey was sent out to all delegates following As in previous years, a feedback survey was sent out to all delegates following

Bulletin58 • June 2024There were some general suggestions and comments included in the feedback. Some people felt that the poster area was a little distanced from the rest of the event. It was opposite the main lecture theatre, so people could look at them before and after platform sessions or workshops. There was a suggestion that the posters could have been displayed in the main foyer outside the trade hall but as the IAT Congress was not the only event taking place at P&J Live, the main foyer was a communal thoroughfare and hence could not be restricted to IAT delegates only.There were also comments about using venues where accommodation can be all on one site with the conference facility, such as Celtic manor. There are a couple of issues with this, these venues tend to be very expensive and there are not that many around. Most conference centres now tend to offer the conference facilities, but not hotel facilities. Also, delegates are now used to arranging their own accommodation at whatever budget suits them. If the IAT arranges accommodation and does not sell all the rooms, we are left with a huge bill for unsold rooms and we are charged regardless of whether they are used or not.We asked in the survey whether people wanted to have the middle night of Congress (i.e. the Wednesday evening) as a free evening. 24% did want the evening left free for delegates to make their own arrangements, but 55% did not want this and would prefer to have an organised event/meal. One of the main comments often made in our previous feedback surveys was that IAT Congress is so good because everyone stays together. All the social events are included for everyone. This year’s survey was no exception, with comments asking to keep delegates together for evening functions. However, there were also comments asking for central city locations to be used, allowing people to go out and explore. This would inevitably lead to delegates deciding to go out on Wednesday evening or during the day and not stay for any arranged activities, meals and, of course, the main scientiﬁ c programme.We are very grateful to all those who contributed to Congress 2024 – by presenting, running a workshop, displaying a poster, exhibiting in the trade hall and sponsoring various elements and giveaways. We are also extremely grateful to all the delegates who attended. Without you, there would be no Congress!We hope that we will see you at Congress 2025, which will take place on 4th – 7thMarch 2025, in a North West venue.Reporter: Nikki Stevens

I am grateful for the knowledge and skills I have learned throughout my studies. This has helped me to be a better manager and my knowledge in animal research has improved a lot.”“Unfortunately, with rising prices everywhere our departmental budget wasn’t able to stretch to allow me to continue my studies. I turned to AS-ET for help and they willingly agreed to fund 50% of my module with my department paying the rest. For anyone on the fence as to whether to give a Level 4 course a try I would say go for it! You will learn so much about the work going on in your facility as well as essay writing techniques and working to deadlines. I’m already in the process of signing up for the next module!”“The Masters programme is the end of my HE journey, but this does not mean that I will stop learning and enquiring as a part of my role and love of animals. I hope it permits me to be an example to my fellow technicians, proving that with hard work and at any age, anything is achievable. Once again this would not have been possible without the ﬁnancial support of AS-ET and I am indebted to the trustees for enabling me to achieve my aims.”“Thanks to AS-ET, I was able to attend an NTCO workshop which has given me more insight into the NTCO role and given me areas of focus that I can develop in the future, while providing me with a support network of experienced NTCOs. The skills and support I have gained have empowered me to further inﬂuence and inspire others working with animals and to achieve the highest standards of training and welfare.” www.animalsinscienceeducationtrust.org.ukAS-ET is a charity with the purpose to further the advancement of education and promotion of excellence in the welfare of animals in science Kyle O’Sullivan MIATUniversity College London being awarded the Tecniplast prize for IAT HE Level 5 Victoria Roberts MIAT DSTLreceiving the AS-ET/West Middlesex Branch IAT HE Level 4 prize from Ken Applebee, Chair of TrusteesIt was an immense pleasure for AS-ET Trustees to be able to meet up with friends, colleagues and supporters in Aberdeen.
