Description	1R Institute working as an unregulated group to provide information to students and professors regarding humane education, alternative methods to animals in classes and conscientious objection. In 2015, due to the context favorable for alternative policies in government and society, we decided to become a non-profit organization. As a non-profit organization, we can collaborate more actively with society, governmental and non-governmental organizations, working on and supporting alternatives to animal testing more efficiently, focusing on initiatives based on replacement (1R).
