Events

The German Centre for the Protection of Laboratory Animals (Bf3R) regularly organises events and participates in scientific conferences and congresses to provide information on the development and research of alternative methods to animal experiments.

Our range of events

The aim of these activities is to strengthen science and inform the public by providing and exchanging information, in order to ultimately be able to increasingly replace animal experiments with alternative methods (Replace), refine them for the benefit of laboratory animals (Refine) and reduce them overall (Reduce).
