The workshop aims to coordinate advance research in the field of toxicology without the use of animal experiments in Europe, the United States and Japan. This year's meeting will give a contribution to a joint international research strategy for the development of innovative, animal-free test methods in toxicology, particularly with regard to the coming support program Horizon 2020 of the European Commission, lasting over several years.
The EU Commission, the Federal Ministry for Education and Research, as well as the American and Japanese government promote the research on modern molecular and cell biological methods, making a better prediction of toxic properties of chemical substances to humans more possible than it would be with usual animal tests.
