Europe is home to a vibrant 3Rs community with a number of organisations who fund or promote science and technology developments that lead to opportunities to replace, reduce and refine the use of animals in research. The Togeth3R Consortium is a group of eight 3Rs centres from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
Members of the group have been collaborating since 2020 to host webinar series showcasing 3Rs research and innovation across Europe. This new 2025 edition will showcase replacement approaches in different fields of research (infection and immunity, cardiovascular science, oncology and neuroscience), each webinar featuring three speakers sharing their replacement technologies with the aim of increasing awareness and uptake by new users.
This webinar explores the development and application of non-animal approaches in infection and immunity, including organoids to research host-microbe interactions, using human cells in vaccine development and digital twins of autoimmune disease.
