The following articles highlight the internal activities related to the articles of the “Animal Welfare Charter.” In our “Animal Welfare Series,” you will find further information and specific examples of how animal testing makes an indispensable contribution to biomedical research.
Culture of Care activities
One Interpharma member company has initiated a presentation series for animal care staff and interested employees in the context of its “Culture of Care” activities. These presentations given by research scientists in layman’s terms enable a better understanding of the animal studies performed in the company. The better understanding why the studies are being performed lead to a better awareness of the animals’ phenotypes and better animal care.
Project name: Culture of Care Presentation Series
Charter articles: 2, 3, 9
One interpharma member company has established a formal “Culture of Care” committee at one of its in vivo sites in order to foster a supportive environment for both laboratory animals and the in vivo associate community. The team has developed a survey, presented findings at leadership meetings and conferences, and collaborated with behavioral science experts to guide programming. Their work has expanded from local efforts to a more global outreach, with plans for broader implementation and alignment with other in vivo sites.
