FC3R

FC3R is the French reference center for all 3Rs-related matters - Replace, Reduce, Refine -. It aims to support responsible use of animals for scientific research and to promote alternative and innovative methods.

Founded in 2021 by a group of major public research operators at the request of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the GIS FC3R aims to become the reference centre and contact point in France and Europe for all issues relating to the 3Rs in public and private research. 

FC3R will promote synergy and collaboration between the various stakeholders from the academic and industrial research communities in biology and chemistry, and to be attentive to the associative world.
