The need for alternative testing methods is becoming increasingly urgent as the required testing volume per substance and per approval is set to rise significantly. Currently, many of these tests continue to rely on animal testing. In this pursuit, all involved parties are seeking new, effective testing procedures that are regulator-approved and animal-free. In this matter, the OECD has just launched a new QSAR assessment framework, developed in collaboration with ECHA and the Italian National Institute of Health, signaling a shift towards animal-free testing methods. This framework not only assists regulators in evaluating computational results but also strengthens confidence in the adoption of alternative methods for assessing chemical hazards. With a comprehensive checklist and insightful guidance, the framework ensures transparency and consistency in the assessment of QSAR results. Furthermore, in line with these efforts, the EU has established its own reference laboratory „EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (EURL ECVAM)“ as part of the Joint Research Centre. Additionally, the Commission will introduce a roadmap comprising a series of both legislative and non-legislative measures to further reduce animal testing. The objective is to transition to a regulatory framework under the chemicals legislation (such as REACH, Biocidal Product Regulation, Plant Protection Products Regulation, and human and veterinary medicines) that is free of animal involvement, while consistently providing support for alternative methods to animal testing.

"Don't just give your audience content, inspire them" was one of the key lessons that really stuck when in my learning journey towards becoming a coach and speaker. You can have the best content and ideas in the world, but if your audience isn't inspired to apply, you've just given them "stuff". Like Dale, our specially hand picked facilitators and coaches at EQ Strategist need to meet specific criteria: 1️⃣ They need to be walking role models of the stuff they teach. People don't do what you say, they do what you do. 2️⃣ They need to be passionate about our mission - of making a difference to the lives of those who honour us with their most precious asset - their time. And our Core Values - Commitment, Authenticity, Results, Passion and Excellence. 3️⃣ They need to be exemplary models of exceptional ENERGY and passion for their craft. 4️⃣ They need to be exceptional facilitators of accelerated learning, to create value above and beyond what we promise and to be able to inspire others. Thanks Dale White for being a wonderful ambassador of team @EQ Strategist! #inspirationaltraining #modelexcellence
