Das Projekt "Forum for researchers and regulators to meet manufacturers of toxicology test methods (ForInViTox)" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Kommission der Europäischen Gemeinschaften Brüssel. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Stiftung zur Förderung der Erforschung von Ersatz- und Ergänzungsmethoden zur Einschränkung von Tierversuchen.Research on in vitro replacement tests has been undertaken by researchers and industry in the past years with the support of the European Commission, which has resulted in an important number of scientifically sound methods and new strategies. However, the transfer of these inventions to potential users has been much slower than expected, mainly due to difficulties encountered in the transferability, official approval as well as production of test kits under conditions that meet good laboratory practice (GLP) requirements. In order to ensure that results from EC funded projects reach the desired impact, the present gap between inventions and potential users needs to be bridged. The purpose of this project is to establish a forum where representatives of manufacturers, research projects and regulatory agencies continuously get a chance to discuss how to speed up the process of making in vitro methods available for end-users.
