ANZCCART Openness Agreement
In 2023, the Australasian Neuroscience Society became a Founding Supporter of the ANZCCART Openness Agreement on Animal Research in Australia, joining over 30 organisations from academia, industry and funding bodies. Our membership includes educators and researchers who use animals in research and teaching and as a Supporter of the agreement, we will undertake to fulfill the Openness Agreement’s four commitments:
1. We will be open about our involvement in the use of animals in research or teaching
2. We will enhance our communications with the media and the public about our use of animals in research or teaching.
3. We will be proactive in providing opportunities for the public to find out about research or teaching involving animals.
4. We will report annually on our efforts to improve openness in our use of animals in research or teaching.
