About the EPAA

History and rationale

Launched in November 2005 with the support of European Commissioners Verheugen and Potocnik, the EPAA began operations in 2006. It completed a first mandate of 5 years by the end of 2010.

Due to the encouraging results of the EPAA's projects, the mandate has been renewed for 5-year terms since.

The EPAA action programme 2021-2025 (92 kB) focuses on facilitating regulatory acceptance.

Vision

The vision of EPAA is the replacement, reduction and refinement (3Rs) of animal use for meeting regulatory requirements through better and more predictive science.
