In Dialog
The FLI stands for a transparent dialogue on the subject of animal experiments. To do this, we engage in public events and communicate openly about animal experiments at the FLI.
Long Night of Sciences
Every two years, the "Long Night of Sciences" takes place in Jena. Since 2017, the FLI Animal Welfare Unit as well as the Animal Facilities have also been involved.
There were information booths with posters on animal welfare, the 3R concept, mouse and fish facility, and guided tours of the fish facility. Moreover, we offered informative games, such as an interactive construction of a mouse cage. In addition to this, there was a quiz on the topic "When is it allowed to perform animal experiments?"
Initiative "Understanding Animal Research"
"Understanding Animal Research" is an initiative of German science with the goal to inform comprehensively and fact-based on animal experiments. This initiative is coordinated by the Alliance of Scientific Organizations. The FLI as part of the Leibniz Association supports the initiative "Understanding Animal Research".
