3Rs Centre Utrecht

Utrecht University

The mission of the 3Rs Centre Utrecht (3RCU) is to reduce the use of laboratory animals in research and education. To do so, we follow the three Rs of Replacement, Reduction and Refinement (in Dutch: 3Vs of Vervanging, Vermindering en Verfijning), with a primary focus on Replacement.

AI Labs

Utrecht University

Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht's AI Labs are a platform for collaboration between experts from research, business and government. Together, they develop new insights and approaches for harnessing the power of AI and data science to tackle societal challenges.

Air View Mobile Platform

Utrecht University

Two laboratory-grade measurement cars from Utrecht University's IRAS drive city streets recording nitrogen dioxide, soot, particulate matter, and ultrafine particles every second. The resulting high-resolution maps reveal street-by-street pollution variation across European cities, informing healthy cycling routes, urban planning decisions, and epidemiological research on air pollution and health.
