FC3R has developed educational materials to raise awareness among laboratory staff and the general public about the ethical issues surrounding the 3Rs principle. These materials are designed to promote a better understanding and application of the 3Rs and help ensure that research is innovative, in line with societal expectations, and compliant with current regulations.
These pictograms illustrate the 3Rs: Replace, Reduce, and Refine. They can be used individually or in combination, in color or monochrome. Download in ZIP format.
