EPAA’S 3RS SCIENCE PRIZE

The European Partnership for Alternative Approaches to Animal Testing’s (EPAA) 2020 3Rs Science Prize is now open for submissions.

EPAA promotes the development, validation and acceptance of 3Rs alternative approaches (replacement, reduction and refinement of testing on animals).

The 3Rs science prize is granted every two years to a scientist with an outstanding contribution to 3Rs.

This initiative promotes positive contributions from industry or academia and encourage more scientists to focus their research on the 3Rs goals. Scientists working on relevant methods for regulatory testing (e.g. safety, efficacy, batch testing) providing an outstanding contribution to the use of the 3Rs may apply for the prize.

The call is available on the EPAA website.  Submissions must be sent via email to grow‐epaa@ec.europa.eu by at 12:00 (noon) Monday, October 5.
