Let Us Promote Your Research

Tell us about the animal-free research, testing or teaching methods you are involved in.

At NZAVS, we want to champion and promote the use and development of animal-free research, testing and teaching (RTT) methods occurring in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

We’ve learnt through our collaborative approach that many members of the animal science and research community share our vision of a future Aotearoa where the use of animals for RTT has been replaced wherever possible. The wider public isn’t aware of this sentiment, and we want to change that!

The replacement of animals in RTT could often happen at different institutes nationwide, but we (and the wider public) don’t get to hear about it.

Sharing news like this has many potential benefits, including:

  • Educating the public about the scientific community’s genuine desire to replace the use of animals in science wherever possible. This will help build trust and dismantle misconceptions.
  • Incentivizing other researchers to share their animal-free developments and contribute to the constructive public dialogue.
  • Helping reduce the use of animals for RTT and contribute to a cultural shift within the scientific community in NZ. I.e., together, we can help create a society where animal-free research is publicly recognised and praised.

We want to highlight NZ-specific RTT:

  • Where animals have been replaced in RTT.
  • That is aimed at replacing the use of animals for RTT.
  • That aims to solve problems without the use of animals.
  • That only uses animals in non-harmful ways.
Let us promote your mahi!

If you’ve been involved in any of the areas listed above, please get in touch with our Research Officer, Marik Kardel -marik@nzavs.org.nz
