Cruelty-free progress: Alternatives to animal testing on the horizon

Work is ongoing on the Roadmap for a Europe without animal testing. As a follow-up to the ‘Save Cruelty Free Cosmetics – Commit to a Europe Without Animal Testing’ initiative, the Commission has included alternatives to animal testing in the 2025–2027 Horizon Europe strategic plan.

A recent workshop on future research priorities for non-animal methods marks another step forward - stay tuned for the workshop report, expected later this year.
