Working groups

IQ Consortium

Member companies of Interpharma work in the IQ Consortium (International Consortium for Innovation and Quality) and participate in its 3Rs Leadership Group. This group was established to promote the sharing and adoption of high-quality scientific practices and thus to advance the 3Rs principles in animal research conducted as part of the discovery and development of new medicines, vaccines, medical devices and health products for use in humans and animals.

The European Liaison Working Group, a subgroup with which Interpharma maintains official contact, promotes the sharing of 3Rs expertise and their mutual interest in similar objectives being pursued both in the USA and in Europe.

In addition to a global 3Rs award programme, the group also offers 3Rs training and continuing education courses.
