WEBINAR: PUBLISHING ANIMAL USE STATISTICS
In the lead up to the publication of Great Britain’s 2024 animal research statistics, this webinar will look at how Concordat on Openness signatories proactively share their animal use data with the public. We will look at how this complex data can be used to explain why, how and when animals are used in scientific research. This will include looking at how the data is presented, what data to include, and how supporting information such as case studies can give additional context.
This webinar will primarily focus on giving advice to organisations that carry out animal research who want to explore new ways to present this data. However, we will also include tips for funders who want advice on how to share data on the proportion of research they fund that involves animals.

WEBINAR: HOW AI IS RESHAPING PUBLIC DISCOURSE ON ANIMAL RESEARCH - AND HOW TO FIGHT BACK
Join us for an eye-opening webinar with Orbital, a global legal technology consulting firm, on how AI-driven social media manipulation is fuelling misinformation and disinformation in the fight against animal research. Bad actors deploy AI-powered strategies to amplify anti-science messages, pressure organisations, and sway regulatory bodies. These efforts are part of maligned influence campaigns that operate without an industry-wide strategy to counter them.
We’ll explore the critical difference between disinformation and misinformation, revealing how ideological groups peddle propaganda by wrapping selective facts into deceptive narratives and tactics. The discussion will highlight the “whack-a-mole” challenge of combating these campaigns and the urgent need for a strategic response.
Don’t miss this essential session on how AI is reshaping public discourse—and how we can fight back.
This webinar is only open to members of Understanding Animal Research. For more information please contact office@uar.org.uk
