The European Union-funded COST Action, ‘Improving the Quality of Biomedical Science with 3Rs Concepts’ (IMPROVE), which kicked-off in October 2022, presents an unprecedented opportunity to harmonise and synergise efforts in moving the Three Rs forward.4 European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is a funding organisation for research and innovation networks, supporting interdisciplinary research networks to investigate a specific topic from all different research fields.5 The ‘IMPROVE’ COST Action aims to establish an interdisciplinary network dedicated to refining, harmonising and promoting the adoption of the Three Rs principles, in order to enhance the quality of biomedical research.
