The fourth edition of Be Open About Animal Research Day (#BOARD24) took place on 3 May, during the Understanding Animal Research Openness in Animal Research conference, at the University of Warwick, UK.
220 institutions across six continents supported the campaign as partners, with many institutions producing a statement that highlighted why it is important to be open with the public about animal research, and the relevance of the #BOARD24 campaign.
Here is a list of all the #BOARD24 partners (by region/country and institution), plus the statements that were published on EARA social media platforms.
