Welcome to the Animal Free Research Community of Practice!

You are in the right place if you are looking for a community of scientists who practice human-relevant research.

This platform is designed for academic scientists, early career scientists, students, industry and other stakeholders involved in biomedical research to interact on an ongoing basis.

Our network will help us all to deepen expertise, expand knowledge and increase problem solving capabilities.

What is a Community of Practice?

A Community of Practice (CoP) is a network of people who share a concern, set of problems, or passion about a topic, and who deepen their expertise and knowledge by interacting on an ongoing basis.

How can this Community of Practice help me?

It will provide opportunities to network with peers. By creating, exchanging, and expanding knowledge, together community members will develop and increase our individual capabilities as we learn together.

What will this Community of Practice do?

That’s really up to members! Some of the activities we imagine might include:

· Networking

· Problem-solving

· Organising and promoting events

· Facilitating lab visits

· Sharing resources

· Building new collaborations

· Circulating information

· Sharing and discussing negative results

Researchers, young scientists, and all stakeholders in the biomedical research fields can connect, communicate, discuss, meet, create content and tools, develop shared goals and responsibilities.

The platform is curated by members (you!) and Animal Free Research UK coordinators. We invite you to add content, create, share events and resources, and to collaborate on projects such as writing reviews, articles and much more.

Membership is free, the platform is user friendly, and we will support you to get the best out of it.

Join us today and become an active member of this first-of-its-kind community!
