3R
NETWORK
In spring 2022, the 8 faculties of medicine of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia joined forces to form the 3R Competence Network NRW. The aim of the network is to bring biomedical research and medical progress in line with the best possible animal welfare. At the focus of the network is the 3R principle: replace, reduce and refine. By creating a platform for scientific exchange as well as expanding the offer of training and further education, the 3Rs competence network creates new synergies in NRW.
