Welcome

to the homepage of the Institute of Animal Welfare, Animal Behavior and Laboratory Animal Science.

Our institute organizes teaching in the field of animal welfare, animal behaviour and laboratory animal science. Our institute is involved in various collaborations and third-party funded projects. Research focuses on refinement and replacement, animal behavior and animal welfare.

Our institute also acts as the animal welfare officer of Freie Universität. The animal welfare officers at our institute support and advise researchers in the planning, application, implementation and reporting of animal experiments. Module courses are offered to acquire the necessary expertise and regular training courses are held.

We are represented on regional, national and international committees. Our involvement is based either on our expertise in animal welfare, laboratory animal science or the implementation of the 3Rs (Reduce, Refine, Replace).

You will find our building on the Düppel campus as House 21.
