The EPAA partners grant 2 types of awards to scientists and laboratory technicians, whose work has brought an outstanding contribution to the development and implementation of alternatives to animal testing: The EPAA Science Prize and the EPAA Refinement Prize, alternating from year to year. In addition, the EPAA partners yearly provide several grants to students or young scientists to help them participate in major scientific conferences relevant to the 3Rs.
