Joint EDQM-EPAA Symposium Pyrogen testing 2.0: Ethical, Evolving and Eco-friendly – Implementing safe, rapid, state-of-the-art and sustainable non-animal approaches worldwide

A joint symposium was held on 25 and 26 February 2026 in Brussels, Belgium, co-organised by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) and the European Partnership for Alternative Approaches to Animal Testing (EPAA). The event, “Pyrogen testing 2.0: Ethical, Evolving and Eco‑friendly – Implementing safe, rapid, state‑of‑the‑art and sustainable non‑animal approaches worldwide”, was attended by over 800 participants (including 100 on-site) from 71 countries. The level of engagement, dynamic exchanges and broad consensus across stakeholders showed how a once strictly European initiative has now been globally embraced, making the symposium impactful and underscoring the shared commitment to advancing the global transition to animal‑free pyrogenicity testing.
