The 3Rs Talent Award

The 3Rs Talent Award

Starting in 2025, the Danish 3R Center will introduce a new award that, in contrast to the traditional 3R Award, is specifically intended for individuals in the earlier stages of their careers (defined as fewer than 10 years post-master’s degree).

About the 3Rs Talent Award:

  • The award will be presented annually and is given in recognition of a publication or other contribution that has – or shows clear potential to have – a significant positive impact on laboratory animals through either Replacement, Reduction, or Refinement.
  • The submitted article must have been published within the past three years in a peer-reviewed journal.
  • The award may be granted to an individual or a group based in Denmark, affiliated with a company, university, or other organisation.
  • The award will be presented at The Danish 3R Center Annual Symposium.

The award includes a certificate, recognition, and a monetary prize of DKK 10,000.

Selection Criteria:

  • The actual or potential impact on the 3Rs
  • The significance of the research question or topic
  • Transparency and robustness of the (study) design

Nomination:

You may submit an article – or a presentation outlining a specific initiative – to Danish 3R Center via info@3rcenter.dk by 7 September.

Note:
Winners will be notified on 8 October. If you are selected for the award, you will be asked to present your work at The Danish 3R Center Symposium, which will take place on 12–13 November 2025.
