Project platform
The EPAA project platform (PP) is composed of EPAA partners and associates. It supervises and assesses the projects agreed upon by the EPAA, ensuring scientific quality and effectiveness.
The work of the project teams contributes to the development, validation, acceptance and implementation of 3R alternatives, in regulatory testing and decision making, in Europe and beyond.
The EPAA projects identify knowledge gaps and seek optimised approaches to testing and risk assessment strategies, in existing and upcoming legislation. They contribute to optimise implementation of 3Rs and to avoid redundant or unnecessary testing. Based on the work of its projects, the EPAA strives to share experience and build synergies across all 7 EPAA sectors.
