As mentioned in previous newsletters, work has started to establish a national 3R Centre in 2027.
The Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) will host the Centre.
Yesterday it published an invitation to apply for three full-time, permanent positions at the Centre.
Full details are available here.
Please note the short deadline:
20 October.
The establishment of this Centre marks the beginning of a new era for the dissemination, discussion and uptake of resources within all three Rs in Norway.
Norecopa has been lobbying for a fully-fledged physical 3R Centre in Norway since 2007. We are delighted that this is finally happening.
The
Government's press release on 17 April about the Centre can be read here.
In future newsletters we will continue to inform you about the development of the Centre and Norecopa's activities. Three items can already be mentioned:
• The organisation Norecopa will continue to exist
• Norecopa's database and related resources will
continue at today's domain:
https://norecopa.no
• Norecopa's
monthly webinar series, which started in January 2026 in collaboration with
R3FINED International Ltd., will continue with external funding.
