Three more Universities in Ukraine
In 2016, we equipped three more departments in Krywyi Rih, Kyiv and in Zaporozhye with animal-free teaching materials.
In Eastern Europe, there is great potential for replacing animal experiments in higher education with animal-free teaching methods. Thus, animal lives can be saved with relatively simple means. Many teachers are open to modern computer-aided education. Mostly there is only a lack of information and financial resources. In cooperation with InterNICHE we provide help on both levels.
Overview of our projects in Ukraine (in German) >>
In 2016, we equipped three more departments in Krywyi Rih, Kyiv and in Zaporozhye with animal-free teaching materials.
In June 2016, our project partner Dimitrij Leporskij for the first time held a seminar in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. It was met with great interest.
After a lecture of our project leader Dimitrij Leporskij at the Altaj State University in Barnaul, Russia, the contract was signed, ending the traditional animal use in education.
For the first time, we signed a contract with university lecturers in Belarus, the Polessky State University in Pinsk.
In the first months of 2013 contracts with two further departments in Ternopil and Chernivtsi were signed. The university teachers pledged to put an end to all animal experimentation for educational purposes.
In December 2012 and January 2013 we provided three more departments with humane teaching methods. More than 5,700 animals will now be spared an agonizing death each year.
The State Pharmaceutical Academy in the Russian city of Perm from now on stops all animal labs and uses humane education tools only.
