Some of the highlights of the seventh report include the high involvement of institutions or the increase in activities to fulfil the first commitment. However, only 23% of institutions claim to offer in-house training for this type of outreach, or only 43% of institutions mention the use of animal models in their research in the recruitment process.
The results of the report are very thorough and show the reality of the situation.
[In terms of limitations] Although there are comments that their institutions do not prioritise or do not see the need to talk about the use of animals in their research, perhaps not all institutions in the same situation mention this.
