Symposium "the three Rs in research project design: a prerequisite for good science"

DOWNLOAD THE PRESENTATIONS BY CLICKING HERE

The Three Rs - Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement - are successfully applied

in scientific research in a range of scenarios including husbandry, care practices and

experimental settings. They provide a framework for considering important ethical

issues when planning an animal experiment. The main objectives of the Three Rs are to

perform humane research on animals and to impact positively on the quality of research.

A crucial role to the success of these achievements is due to proper

experimental design.

The opening session of this symposium will

focus on the importance of the Three Rs to

achieve high quality science; replacement

will be covered by presenting updated

information and practical examples,

systematic review and critical analysis of

the scientific literature will be described

as key to identify relevant questions and

to plan proper experiments. Appropriate

approaches to help alleviating severe

suffering in animals used in research and

testing, a central issue in Refinement, will

also be discussed.

The drive to maximise standardization, the motto of

animal experimentation, will be challenged in the context of the

so-called reproducibility debate. Some of the challenges and strategies being developed to

improve the quality of “in vivo” experiments at institutional level will be considered.

Finally, the important role of the animal facilities and of the Animal Welfare Bodies in the

implementation of the Three Rs will be presented and discussed.
