Animal-Centered Research
A collaboration between Prof Clara Mancini and Prof Eleonora Nannoni, of the Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences at the University of Bologna, the project builds on ACI's animal-centred ethics to develop an ethical framework for the involvement of animals in research which is informed by animal-centered principles and which explicitly recognizes animals’ autonomy, interests and role, in order to support a nuanced ethical approach to animal research and the best possible research for the benefit of animal partakers and wider society.
