Webinar – Interpretation and Application of the 3R Principle

January 25, 2022 (10 a.m. – 1.30 p.m.)

The Interdepartmental Center for Research Ethics and Integrity of the CNR is organising a webinar on “Interpretation and Application of the 3Rs Principle. Science Bioethics and Law in Animal Experimentation”, with the presentation of the volume “Practical Handbook on the 3Rs in the Context of the Directive 2010/63/EU” (curated by Gianni Dal Negro and Silvia Sabbioni).

The application in Italy of Directive 2010/63/EU on the welfare of laboratory animals has firmly anchored the principles of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in European legislation. However, the interpretation and application of these principles poses some serious challenges that were analysed during the webinar. Specialists from different disciplines discuss the main scientific, bioethical and legal issues related to the implementation of the 3R principle and their ‘actuality’ in animal experimentation.
