JSAAE activities in alternatives to animal experimentation for undergraduate schools: forum for citizens in primary and secondary schools.

The aim of this paper is to introduce some educational activities by the Japanese Society of Alternatives to Animal Experiments (JSAAE). The JSAAE is an academic society to promote the Three Rs in Japan and also the international biomedical community. Our activities include the education of not only scientists but also the public. In particular, activities should be focused on the education in schools regarding alternatives. The JSAAE organised a forum for citizens in alternatives education in primary and secondary schools during their 14th annual meeting.
