Every year, a number of high-profile international meetings bring together world-class scientists working on the development and acceptance of 3R alternatives to animal testing (Replacement, Reduction or Refinement). However, costs linked to participation may prevent students with promising work or young scientists at the beginning of their careers from attending these events.

Therefore, for each of the eligible events (see below), a lump sum of 1500€ is available. Two levels of grants are offered by the EPAA partners: a half grant and one full grant.

For the EPAA 3Rs student grants, selected high-profile scientific meetings are eligible. For 2020, the following events are open for application:
