European Partnership for Alternative Approaches to Animal Testing's (EPAA)

The European partnership for alternative approaches to animal testing (EPAA) is a unique voluntary collaboration between the European Commission, European trade associations, and companies from 8 industry sectors.

The partners are pooling knowledge and resources to accelerate the development, validation and acceptance of alternative approaches to animal testing. The overall aim is the replacement, reduction and refinement (3Rs) of animal use in regulatory testing.
The EPAA seeks to bridge the knowledge gap and to facilitate coordination and cooperation via its partners and project platform. It promotes the results via its various European and international activities and events, its annual conference and via its awards and grants that are particularly addressed to young scientists.
