Background

CRACK IT Challenges spearhead the development of innovative 3Rs technologies by responding directly to the needs of end-users across the biosciences. The Challenges have delivered technologies for the improvement of scientific data, to increase the predictivity of models and to reduce the reliance on animals.

CRACK IT products and previous Challenges can be found on our Innovation Platform. Case studies highlighting some of our success stories are showcased in our 10 years of CRACK IT: Webinar series.

Register via Zoom
