 In 2014, the Concordat on Openness was launched in the UK. This was the first transparency agreement for animal research in the world. Since then, 128 organisations in the UK have joined the Concordat and committed to being open with the public about their research involving animals. The Concordat on Openness has inspired research organisations across the world and there are now nine established transparency agreements worldwide. Further agreements are currently in development. To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Concordat on Openness, we at Understanding Animal Research are delighted to host a first-of-its-kind conference dedicated to open and honest communication around animal research. The conference will take place on the 2nd and 3rd of May next year. So, save the date and see you in May 2024.
