EUSAATactively promotes the protection of laboratory animals in accordance with the 3Rs principle. To this end, it serves as a European 3Rs platform by providing expertise and networking opportunities, and by supporting educational programs in close cooperation with NGOs, regulators, research institutes, and industry to improve and implement humane experimental techniques as well as innovative in silico and in vitro methods. To achieve these objectives, EUSAAT hosts the European 3Rs Conferences at the University of Linz, Austria—which were launched by local animal welfare groups in 1991—and also offers virtual seminars on its website.
