Bologna, 4 May 2023 Twenty years of the Regional Ethics Committee
This public initiative is organized on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Regional Ethics Committee, which took place with LR 20/2002 "Regulations against vivisection" and intends to deepen the evolution of the subject and the socio-cultural context relating to experimentation for scientific purposes. This through a brief analysis of the actions promoted, starting from the training activities up to the support for research on alternative methods. The initiative also leaves room for a reflection at national level on the state of the art of experimentation, to deepen future directions and perspectives, in the light of new methodologies and approaches involving scientific society.
