Institutions and researchers across the world supported #BOARD25 including sharing case studies that highlighted the importance of being open and transparent to the general public about the use of animals in research.

To celebrate BOARD25, institutions and researchers around the world produced videos where they spoke about the animal research they carry out and about the need to talk openly with the public about animal research.

The fifth edition of Be Open About Animal Research Day (#BOARD25), EARA’s global, 24-hour social media campaign, that celebrates examples of openness in animal research with the public, took place during the FELASA Congress 2025, on 3 June. 

EARA has just taken part in the 16th Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA) Congress, held in Athens, Greece from 2 to 5 June 2025, making significant contributions to the scientific programme, addressing openness, transparency and public engagement in animal research.
