Takeaways of the international Pioneer-2-Policymaker conference

From the 27th till the 29th of November, the international Pioneer-2-Policymaker conference was held in Utrecht. The Dutch Transition Programme for animal-free Innovations (TPI) organised it to present the Dutch way of accelerating this transition and to instigate a true dialogue between researchers, regulators and developers. The Dutch Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality urged participants to take ownership and work together towards a system in which animal testing becomes redundant.
