The European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM) fostered academic collaborations, leading to advanced degrees for participants and promoting alternative testing methods. This initiative involved numerous European and US institutions.

Area of Science:

  • * Toxicology and regulatory science
  • * In vitro and alternative method development

Background:

  • * ECVAM actively promotes collaboration with academic institutions.
  • * This collaboration aims to advance scientific research and develop alternative methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To assess the impact of ECVAM's academic partnerships.
  • * To highlight the successful development and validation of alternative methods through these collaborations.

Main Methods:

  • * Direct collaboration and co-sponsored studentships with universities.
  • * Awarding contracts to academic institutions for research.
  • * Tracking student registrations and awarded higher degrees.

Main Results:
