In support of EURL ECVAM’s recommendation, the umbrella organization European Coalition to End Animal Experiments (ECEAE) created a unique Prize for animal-free antibodies.

The prize aims to raise awareness about the scientific and ethical advantages of animal-free antibodies and to encourage their acceptance and use for research and therapeutic purposes.

After receiving multiple excellent applications, ECEAE has decided to award two equivalent prizes, amounting to 10,000 euros each, to two superb candidates who have greatly contributed to the development, distribution and promotion of animal-free antibodies worldwide.
