En Suisse et ailleurs, les chercheurs ne cessent de faire progresser la science et le principe des 3R. Ces avancées s’accompagnent de nouvelles techniques, de lignes directrices relatives à l’utilisation d’animaux et de modèles non animaux, ainsi que de notes d’orientation qui font le lien entre la science et les politiques publiques. Vous trouverez ici des ressources pratiques pour vous aider dans votre travail, que ce soit dans le cadre de vos recherches, de la protection du bien-être animal ou de l’élaboration de politiques.
