Do you work with zebrafish in a Nordic country? Norecopa is co-organiser of a meeting in November to establish a Nordic Zebrafish Network. There will also be a 3-day practical course in zebrafish husbandry & techniques. Save the dates, more info soon! norecopa.no/meetings/webin…

Crystal clear statement from the UK Research Integrity Office's Code of Practice: Use both PREPARE and ARRIVE when conducting research on animals or animal material norecopa.no/PREPARE arriveguidelines.org @ukrio Norecopa The National Centre for the 3Rs #3Rs #AnimalWelfare

Highly recommended 👏

The 115th Norecopa newsletter has just been released! The latest #3R advances from around the world. If you're not already a subscriber, you'll find it at norecopa.no/news/newslette…

In time for WC12Canada , a French translation of the Norecopa slide deck on the #3Rs is available: norecopa.no/3Rs 🇫🇷🇨🇦🇳🇴

Today at #WC12Canada I presented an overview of the work of Norecopa entitled "a one-stop-shop for global #3R resources", which is indeed our aim. My slides are available at norecopa.no/WC12. See if you agree with me😉

Ideas on how Open Science can support the #3Rs and improve research protocols which contain plans that may involve the use of animals. A great collaboration with colleagues at Utrecht University and beyond: riojournal.com/article/105198

Openness about methods, data and outcomes of scientific research can lead to more reliable, efficient and relevant research, using fewer laboratory animals. How? Read our article in @riojournal here riojournal.com/article/105198/ #3Rs #reduce #animaltesting #betterscience #openscience

Today is Norecopa's 16th Birthday! We've published 116 newsletters, the PREPARE checklist in 35 languages, 30 scientific papers & guidelines, held 150+ presentations in 30+ countries and built a 9,700-page 3Rs website. Thanks for all your support❤️ norecopa.no/prepare-care-s…

UZH is developing alternative methods to animal experiments in line with the 3Rs principle. To highlight outstanding achievements of its members, the university has introduced the UZH 3R Award, which has now gone to Giuseppe Esposito & Melanie Generali. 👉news.uzh.ch/en/articles/ne…

**PLEASE SHARE** Next Wednesday, Oct 18th is the DEADLINE to register for this course. Come to Porto in December to learn how to: - Better design your experiments - Improve reproducibility - Minimize number of animals used while increasing study reliability #3Rs

An excellent opportunity for those who missed FRAME's Training School in Bergen this year. Happy to be part of this initiative showcasing the importance of good preparation and design #PREPARE #3Rs

Join tutors Prof Adrian Smith Adrian Smith of Norecopa & Nikki on 29-31 Jan 2024 for our "PREPARE for better Science" course. Focus on #researchplanning skills to deliver rigorous & reproducible #animalstudies using #PREPARE guidelines. #CPD #3Rs responsibleresearchinpractice.co.uk/prepare-for-be…

A great week for the zebrafish community! It began with a 3-day hands-on husbandry course, and ended with a 2-day meeting where representatives from nearly all the Nordic facilities established a Nordic Zebrafish Network, and a Steering Group to manage it. 1/n

Important to know from day 1 (a) what you will have to report (ARRIVE) and (b) all that you should consider when planning (PREPARE), because there are many issues which never get reported but which affect data validity, reproducibility, animal welfare and health & safety.
