ETHICS in ANIMAL RESEARCH at BOKU

ETHICS in ANIMAL RESEARCH at BOKU

What to consider, why, when and where

17:00 ‐ 19:15

  • Vortragsreihe

Talks & discussion
Everyone involved in non-human animal research has the responsibility to minimise the harms the animals they are working with may experience. Funding bodies and journals increasingly request a formal ethics approval to be included when submitting grant proposals or manuscripts. Last year, BOKU established an Ethics Committee, which reviews ethical aspects of project proposals and issues such formal ethics approval statements.

The aim of the talks is to give a general overview of ethical principles in animal research projects as well as to provide an orientation of the different institutions at BOKU, which may be involved in the ethical approval process at different stages of the research.
