Alternative methods in animal experimentation: evaluating scientific, ethical and social issues in the "3rs" context

Objective

The main objective of the project is an assessment of the impact of the recent development of alternative methods in animal research on the concept of alternative in the "3Rs"model. The evaluation will be the results of interactions between scientific and philosophical aspects: the reliability of the results obtained; the welfare of animals; ethical and social acceptability; regulatory aspects. The start of the project will be an analysis of these aspects, to find relevant criteria for their definition. The results will tried out on case studies, each relevant to a particular "R". A special attention will be paid tithe difficulties in applying the defined criteria for each aspect, and an effort will be made to balance the different aspects in a European perspective, to define new conceptual landmarks which may have an impact on conflicts raising in thesauri-economical context.
