About the EPAA

History and rationale

Launched in November 2005 with the support of European Commissioners Verheugen and Potocnik, the EPAA began operations in 2006. It completed a first mandate of 5 years by the end of 2010.

Due to the encouraging results of the EPAA's projects, the mandate has been renewed for 5-year terms since.

See the 2011-2015 (37 kB) and 2016-2020 (89 kB) action programmes as well as the founding act of EPAA (3Rs Declaration) (85 kB).

The new action programme 2021-2025 (92 kB) focuses on facilitating regulatory acceptance.

Vision

The vision of EPAA is the replacement, reduction and refinement (3Rs) of animal use for meeting regulatory requirements through better and more predictive science.
