background

Purpose

Animal Research Tomorrow (ART) is the new home of the Basel Declaration. We are an international grassroots NGO of biomedical and animal welfare researchers dedicated to advocating ethically responsible and state-of-the ART animal research in the spirit of the Basel Declaration. A second major aim is to increase trust and engage in proactive communication about the continued importance of animal experimentation in the life sciences. We promote openness and fact-based scientific arguments in the international public debate on the necessity and value of animal research for human and animal health and welfare.

Mission

Animal Research Tomorrow and its supporting members and institutions stand for

  • ethical treatment of animals in research
  • unconditional implementation of the 3Rs
  • reliable, reproducible and state-of-the ART animal experimentation
  • use of animal-free approaches when possible
  • proactive and fact-based interactive dialog with society
  • increased transparency, accountability, and trust through open science

    Cornelia Exner

    As a vet and animal welfare officer, it is important to me to contribute to the fact that the 3 R principle is carried forward in research. It is also important that research is transparent to the public and that scientists communicate about what they are doing. I am happy to be part of ART.

    As one of the initial signers of the Basel Declaration I want to promote its widespread adoption. I also support the wider mission of Animal Research Tomorrow to expand the communication about the importance and role of responsible animal research.
