The European Commission has published a survey seeking to find out what available education and training resources exist on the replacement, reduction and refinement (the 3Rs approach) of animal procedures for scientific purposes, being offered at high school, university and professional levels.(https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/3Rs-Education-and-Training )
The objective of this study is to identify courses, modules, teaching materials, guidance, and other resources to form a snapshot view of how, where and to whom the 3Rs principles and alternative-to-animal approaches are currently being taught keeping in mind that many such initiatives might not be “3R labelled”.
