The 1st North Africa and Middle East Seminar on Alternatives to Animal Experiments in Education and Training, held in Cairo on 27th February 2010, was a success and led to a resolution calling for full replacement.
Organised by InterNICHE and the Egyptian Society of Animal Friends (ESAF), the initiative brought together teachers, students, researchers, veterinary professionals, campaigning organisations and others to promote and help implement replacement alternatives across North Africa and the Middle East.
