Proponent: UO del Centro 3R di UNIPV

Course learning outcomes/abstract: Educational objectives: the interdisciplinary course aims to provide knowledge on the topic of research within the 3Rs whose principles concern the ethical aspects of the use of animals in scientific experiments. The 3Rs are the initial letters of REDUCTION: reduction in the number of animals used for a specific study; REFINEMENT: improvement of experimental designs to reduce stress and suffering to animals; REPLACEMENT: replacement (even partial) of animal testing with alternative methods of comparable validity. These three words briefly describe the ethical principles that researchers should respect when undertaking animal experiments.

Goals: The course therefore aims to present the main innovative applications of research within the 3Rs in order to promote a responsible animal
