Baden-Württemberg: New round of applications for the research prize "Alternative and Complementary Methods to Animal Experiments" Featured

This year, the state of Baden-Württemberg is once again supporting the development of alternative and complementary methods to animal testing.


As part of the funding, the use of animal-based materials such as animal-based serums or antibodies in biomedical research is to be increasingly supported. The switch to culture media that do not require fetal calf serum is to be prioritized for support.

In 2024, the Ministry of Food, Rural Areas, and Consumer Protection has 200,000 euros available for this purpose.

Funding applications can be submitted until April 15, 2024.
