  2. 🐾 Today is the #WorldDayForLaboratoryAnimals! Find out about our projects working on the #3Rs.
    🐭 VICT3R developed virtual control groups that could replace 4000 rats in preclinical studies in the EU every year
    🐠 PREMIER developed a decision tree that could reduce the number of fish used in environmental risk assessments for older medicines by 30%
    🧫 EBiSC is a bank of induced pluripotent stem cells which can be used instead of animals in many studies

  3. IHI project VICT3R has reached an important milestone in its quest to dramatically reduce the numbers of animals used in medicine safety testing by replacing actual control groups with ‘Virtual Control Groups’ (VCGs).
    The European Medicines Agency has launched a consultation on a qualification opinion on the use of VCGs, as proposed by VICT3R, in certain studies. The consultation will run until 12 May, and details can be found at link.europa.eu/XqwHjG.

  4. 80,000 € for animal welfare in #research: The DFG announces the Ursula M. Händel Prize for the 11th time. It aims to honour outstanding contributions to promoting animal welfare in science and committments to the use of the #3Rs concept. More: fcld.ly/animalwelfare

  5. 🐾 On #WorldAnimalDay, find out how new IHI project VICT3R plans to dramatically cut the use of animals in research - they will use existing data and #ArtificialIntelligence to create virtual control groups that could replace real animals in drug and chemical safety studies.

  7. 🐇 A 'historic' decision to drop a common animal test for contaminants in batches of medicines administered by injection was driven in part thanks to evidence from IMI project VAC2VAC, which demonstrated that non-animal alternatives are up to the job!

  8. Finnish #3Rs center fin3r.fi/en is continuing with the webinars - on Jan 15th at 1 pm CET, Dr. Esther Pearl from nc3rs.org.uk/ will talk about Robust experimental design with the Experimental Design Assistant (EDA). Register for the webinar at helsinki.zoom.us/meeting/regis

  9. RT @CCAAM_CaCVAM: Incredibly inspiring week at #ECVAM JRC Summer School on Non-Animal Approaches in Science! Young scientists from 31 countries already thinking outside the cage give so much hope for advancing #alternatives and the #3Rs for a future without animal testing! #Science #innovation t.co/MqyFhnbH2u

  11. Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC) at USDA is hiring a #librarian - looking for a recent graduate to support literature searching and evidence-based reviews on veterinary science, animal welfare, biomedical research usajobs.gov/job/700154300 #3Rs #AnimalWelfare #libraryjobs

  12. Travelling home after a fascinating few days in Bern for the launch of the #Advancing3Rs #NRP79 from the SNSF. Great to hear all the interdisciplinary & innovative #3Rs projects just starting and help facilitate conversations about implementation from the outset #AnimalResearch #AnimalWelfare #3Rs
    In closing discussions we talked about how to sustain communication between projects, here or elsewhere, so this is an experiment to see what engagement might follow.

  13. Rethink #farm #animal #production: the #3Rs [#Replacement, #Reduction, #Refinement]

    "70 billion terrestrial animals and between 59 and 129 billion aquatic animals are used annually, compared with 192 million #research animals [~670 times less animals]. However, animal #farming is not scrutinized through the lens of the 3Rs and instead remains focused on increasing production to feed the world. The justification for this #ethical discrepancy is unclear."
