6th World Congress

The 6th World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences was held August 21-25, 2007, in Tokyo. Objectives of the Congress are to:
  • review progress made toward the 3Rs (Reduction, Refinement, Replacement) in education, research, and testing,
  • develop a realistic understanding of the status of alternatives,
  • create an understanding that in research, animal studies, together with clinical studies and in vitro methods, advance science,
  • contribute to our basic understanding of biology and diseases, and
  • encourage constructive discussions between animal protection groups and scientific communities.

AALAS presented a poster at
the meeting and set up an
informational booth for attendees
