  4. Attitude directed by: • Intrinsic value • Respect for animals • 3Rs – Replacement Reduction Refinement

  5. Attitude building • Course on laboratory science • Ethical introduction to animal labs • Use of alternatives, where possible

  6. Article 25 • Procedures referred to in paragraph 1 of this article shall be restricted to thoseabsolutely necessaryfor the purpose of the education or training concerned and be permitted only if their objectivecannot be achieved by comparably effective audio-visual or any other suitable methods. • EUROPEAN CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF VERTEBRATE ANIMALS USED FOR EXPERIMENTAL AND OTHER SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES

  7. Source of alternatives - 1 • other teachers; • from students who choose not to participate in animal experiments, and who find their own alternative exercises; • by developing alternatives themselves, either alone or with others within their institutions; • through conferences and trade fairs;

  8. Source of alternatives - 2 • through educational material marketing resources; • from outreach tours e.g., InterNICHE, EURCA, and publications; • through loan programs from various institutions and organisations (InterNICHE); • from databases, e.g., NORINA, AVAR, EURCA.

  14. Workshop recomm. 8 Databases should contain more comprehensive information: • - contact details • - target audience • -independent evaluation of the material • - description • - advice on use • - availability
