The British polling organization Savanta ComRes surveyed 10,706 people aged 18 and over, via an online questionnaire, between October 27 and November 8, 2022, in 10 countries (E.U.: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, and non-E.U.: Norway, Switzerland).
The survey revealed that, for the 8 member countries of the European Union :

- 76% agree that much remains to be done to accelerate the complete replacement of animal experimentation in scientific research, testing and teaching.
- 77% agree that the European Commission and its Member States should develop a coordinated strategy for the transition to animal-free scientific research, regulatory testing and education.
- 75% agree that the European Union should be a world leader in the transition to animal-free science and innovation.
Other European countries, such as Switzerland and Norway, also support a transition to animal-free research, with this new poll showing that 68% of Swiss and 64% of Norwegians agree that their country should commit to the transition to animal-free scientific research, regulatory testing and teaching.
