SAFRIreland presents
A day to celebrate the brilliant science that makes animal testing unnecessary — and to demand the world catches up.
SAFRIreland promotes ethical, human-relevant science without using animals. Our mission is to work alongside organisations worldwide to help phase out animal experiments completely — championing the success and accuracy of innovative new technologies being developed across Europe and the world.
Our latest campaign: Ban Botox testing on animals.
Modern alternatives are faster, more accurate for humans, and already in use by leading researchers worldwide.
The EU roadmap signals that governments are ready to act. Global momentum is building fast.
Millions of animals are still used in labs each year. There is now no scientific justification for this.
Share, educate, and support campaigns pushing brands, regulators, and labs to make the switch.
Microdevices lined with living human cells that mimic real organ behaviour.
Miniature 3D tissue models grown from human stem cells.
Machine learning that predicts toxicity and drug responses with high accuracy.
Human stem cells used to study disease and test treatments safely.
3D structures that support human tissue growth for testing.
Digital simulations of biological systems replacing live testing.
Lab-grown human tissues that replicate real biological responses.
The European Union is set to publish its official plan to phase out animal testing, marking the biggest regulatory shift in decades.
A new annual day launched alongside World Day for Animals in Laboratories to champion alternatives and celebrate scientific progress.
SAFRIreland continues to campaign for domestic legislation changes, including the Ban Botox Testing campaign targeting the cosmetics industry.
As regulation catches up with science, organ-on-a-chip, AI, and organoid technologies are set to become the global standard.
