Animal Research Tomorrow (former Basel Declaration Society)

The aim of the Basel Declaration and its Society is to bring the scientific community together to further advance the implementation of ethical principles such as the 3R principles (Replace, Reduce, Refine) whenever animals are being used and to call for more trust, transparency and communication on the sensitive topic of animals in research. The signatories of the Basel Declaration, researchers and institutions in the life sciences sector, are committed to the 3R principles, i.e., that animal testing in their area of expertise be planned and carried out with extreme care.In addition, they will contribute to providing society with open and transparent information about animal experiments. In return, the undersigned scientists expect society to recognize that animal experiments are essential for medical progress both now and in future.
