@The_EARA 🌟 EARA calls on the scientific community to participate in the public discussion at this crucial time and let the public know about the value of both animals and NAMs in science. Use the hashtag #BOARD26 to join the campaign!

@The_EARA 🔬 #BOARD26 is taking place during #FENS2026, in Barcelona, on Thursday, 9 July, and will address a commonly spread, misleading and polarising message that portrays animal research and new approach methodologies (NAMs) as competing rather than complementary.

🧠 BOARD, Be Open About Animal Research Day, is a global, 24-hour social media campaign created by the @The_EARA, which celebrates openness by biomedical institutions across the world in communicating animal research.

3️⃣ #FENS2026 is almost done! 🤝 The FENS Booth featured multiple events yesterday, with sessions organised by the ALBA Network, the FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence, and the FENS Committees. 📸 Here are the best moments from Day 3! 🔗 Check out FENS TV: buff.ly/OQBT08p
