As part of Berlin Science Week, two discussion events on the topic of animal research and alternatives will take place, which promise to be very interesting and informative.
“Beyond Animal Testing – Between Progress and Responsibility”

Between morality, ethics, necessity, and progress: How far have animal-free methods really come in science? What can they achieve – and where do they reach their limits?
