the JRC's Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing (EURL ECVAM)
is conducting a public
survey<https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/eu3rsknowledgesharingsurvey2015> to
solicit input from individuals and organisations to identify all types of
knowledge sources that might be relevant for Replacing, Reducing or Refining
(the '3Rs') the use of animals for scientific purposes.
The objective of the survey is to understand how such knowledge is currently
disseminated and to highlight what could be done to fill knowledge gaps and
enhance knowledge sharing.
