Improving science and healthcare for everyone by stimulating the transition to animal-free innovations
We share the view with a growing number of scientists that the continued use of animals is in fact a hindrance to scientific progress and improvement of human health. If we want to improve healthcare for everyone, a transition from the existing scientific mindsets and practices is essential. This can only be achieved by fully replacing animal-based research methods with innovative, human-relevant approaches.
Animal Free Science is all about making the transition to better science and healthcare by replacing animal testing.
It is our mission to improve science and healthcare for everyone by:
- Communicating the latest news in animal-free science to scientists and policy makers.
- Inspiring students to become the next generation of experts in animal-free science.
- Creating a strong community of scientific experts endorsing animal-free science.
- Offering a platform in Belgium for funding and collaborative opportunities in animal-free science.
- Liaising between politicians, industry and academia to drive the transition towards animal-free science, in Belgium and beyond.
