These various activities clearly demonstrate the MDC's commitment to openness and direct dialogue about animal experimentation. By actively interacting with the public and supporting educational events, the Center is helping to build a productive dialogue on the topic of animal experimentation.
In the statement, the initiative writes in 2021:
The MDC shows that it is important for research institutions to be transparent and responsible for their own research and their employees. If you hide, you may have something to hide - this also applies to animal research. However, those who do not hide and also deal openly with critical issues show transparency and strengthen trust in their own cause.
