The 3Rs principle formulated in 1959 by Russel and Burch aims to guide an applied scientific approach towards the replacement, reduction and refinement of animal research. While of limited ethical guidance it is fair to say that it led to a massive reduction in animal use within several decades. But what is the status quo and the challenges of the 3Rs principle now more than 60 years after its publication and what is with those animals still used in research, testing and education. How can their welfare be measured and protected? This is a first glimpse of the café hosting Prof. Paulin Jirkof.
Dr. Paulin Jirkhof is 3R coordinator at the Office for Animal Welfare and 3R of the University of Zurich and chair of the executive board of the Swiss 3R Competence Center.
