The SLiM project

The Quicker from innovation to humans (SLiM) project focuses on developing and optimizing new test strategies for assessing the safety of a product that could accelerate product development and at the same time reduce the number of animal experiments.

In 2014, a stakeholder consultation yielded the conclusion that there is a need for a (inter)national index that benchmarks research instutions on the implementation of the 3Rs and their transition to animal-free innovation. Here the groundwork was laid for the Beyond Animal Testing Index.
