85 partner institutions provided case studies, reports and statements, on why the sector should be transparent about animal research, including 27 recorded videos published on YouTube from Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Spain, UK, and the USA.

 

On Instagram, there were five livestreamed Q&A sessions with researchers in Belgium, Greece, The Netherlands, Poland and Portugal answering questions on animal research.

 

In Spain, there was a live conference to discuss openness, with a presentation from EARA Board member Javier Guillen, Isabel Blanco of SECAL and Lluis Montoliu of COSCE.

 

And in Brazil, #BOARD21 featured a presentation by EARA communication officer, Ana Barros, at the launch of a new scientific journal, Biological Models Research and Technology.

 

#BOARD21 co-ordinator, Ana Barros, said: “The success of #BOARD21 around the globe has been amazing, with so many institutions ready to join the conversation about animal research. We’re very grateful to all those who got involved!”

Suggested Activities:

 

Each institution/organisation can decide what activity they would like to carry out based on their resources and approach. On the day you can share and retweet all EARA posts on social media always using the hashtag #BOARD21. 

 

Here are some suggestions you can plan ahead of the event:

  • Transparency Thursday: A video Q&A where scientists answer questions from the public about their animal research (check examples here). 

 

  • Let’s Talk SciComm: A video Q&A where science communicators give tips on how they share information on social media about their animal research (check examples here). 

 

 

  • Organise a webinar to address how your organisation/institution has been working on openness and transparency on animal research. Examples: Improving Openness in Animal Research in Israel, Hungary, Greece, Belgium, France, Portugal and Spain

 

  • Hold a virtual lab tour for children or adults to inform them about animal research. Examples: 360° laboratory animal tours by Understanding Animal Research.

 

Social Media:

All activities and posts during this day should include the hashtag #BOARD21. Using the hashtag is a way to make easier for people on social media to discover all the posts about our initiative. This is because hashtags aggregate all social media content with the same hashtag.

 

Platforms to use include Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
