Norecopa

Norecopa is an independent member organization that serves as Norway's National Consensus Platform for advocating "the 3 Rs" (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in animal experiments. With a Board representing all major stakeholders in animal research, Norecopa strives for consensus while promoting the principles of the Three Rs of Russell and Burch. Their primary goal is to enhance scientific research through the proper planning and execution of experiments that prioritize animal welfare.

Norecopa maintains a comprehensive website with over 9,000 pages of 3R resources, including the PREPARE guidelines for planning animal research and testing. They also organize meetings, webinars, and international conferences to facilitate knowledge exchange among researchers. Institutions and individuals interested in promoting animal welfare and reducing animal experimentation can become members of Norecopa.

By fostering collaboration and disseminating information, Norecopa aims to create a culture of care and advance alternative methods in animal research
