@humaneworldeurope.bsky.social on #lethaldose testing. With the upcoming revision of REACH and the EC Roadmap, this moment represents a pivotal opportunity for humane, and science-driven reform. Thank you to @euractiv.com for helping bring visibility.

Great news from the University of Twente (NL): it’s closing its animal testing lab and investing in new research methods that can reduce the need for animal testing. Wonderful to see such progressive steps toward more ethical science.

Conference by ChemTrust and HEAL, REACH Revision 2025
Inspiring words from the Commissioner @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu highlighting that the REACH revision will address animal testing an issue that is important to many citizens. "The Commission is committed to reducing its use, and we will foster non-animal methods in chemical safety assessments".

Is animal testing indeed used as a “last resort"? Unfortunately, no! Now with REACH being revised, the last resort requirement is more important than ever. What a pleasure working on this with @giorgiapallocca.bsky.social
Many thanks to @euractiv.com for publishing!
On World Animal-Free Research Day, we ask: Why is outdated #animalresearch still being used when better #science exists? The answer lies in funding—most resources still support traditional animal tests, despite their failures.

Everyone is talking about NAMs, but what do we mean by that? Whether we talk about non-animal methods or new approach methodologies we need to ensure that we are building an animal-free science world.

Day-3 of the Animal-Free Chemical Safety Assessment Conference organised by the @ec.europa.eu and the European Partnership for Alternatives Approaches to Animal Testing (EPAA).
Feeding back from Human Health and Environmental Safety Paradigm Shift, and Change Management breakout groups.
3. ENVI also supported giving priority to the use of non-animal methods, with animal testing on vertebrate animals only as a last resort.
We hope that these amendments by ENVI are supported during the Plenary vote in April!
2. ... by bringing together data & information on chemicals and ensure that data & information are easily findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable.
Some MEPs proposed good language on the path towards phasing-out animal testing, which was approved by the ENVI MEPs.
1. Good news! The @europarl.europa.eu's ENVI Committee today voted on the proposed Regulation for a Common Data Platform on chemicals, which is part of the One Substance One Assessment (OSOA).
It aims to ensure the efficient delivery of coherent hazard & risk assessments of chemicals...
Hello just joined Bluesky. Let me introduce myself.
I work for @humaneworldeurope.bsky.social. My main focus is on promoting alternative non-animal test methods in the EU & will be mainly posting here on all things relating to research & toxicology.
