EARA Vision and Mission

@The_EARA

Our vision is that animal research is understood by society as still a critical part of the scientific process, leading to an informed and beneficial climate for innovation and progress for the benefit of human and animal and environmental health.

Our mission to be the leading voice in Europe for organisations that use animals for scientific purposes and to ensure that all stakeholders are informed and understand the use of animals for as long as they are needed.
