Advocacy strategy

Global Engagement Initiative

As a member of the Global Engagement Initiative, FENS identifies appropriate advocacy tools, develops best practices, shares experiences, reviews the problems faced in different regions and pinpoint ways of better advocating.

The responsible use of animal research
