The European Parliament is once again pushing to accelerate transition to a research system that does not involve testing on animals (see go.nature.com/3hzprhj). In September, its members called for an EU-wide action that is backed by a timetable to phase out non-essential animal experimentation as soon as possible. Meeting this challenge will require extraordinary commitment and dedicated communication by the scientific community.
