Progress without pain to animals
Foundation is promoting alternatives to animal research
Juliana von Wendt Foundation, founded in 1971, is a Finnish charity, which supports humane methods of scientific and medical research. The Foundation awards yearly grants to Finnish researchers developing and applying non-animal methodology in a wide range of fields including toxicity testing, cancer research, surgery, antibody production, computer assisted drug modelling, tissue culture techniques, higher education etc. Methods replacing exceptionally harmful use of animals are prioritised, as well as projects, which are most relevant for human or animal welfare. During years 1996-2023, the Foundation has awarded The Scandinavian Research Prize for Alternatives to Animal Experiments together with the funds of Sweden and Denmark.
Alternatives to Animal Research
Besides funding research, Juliana von Wendt Foundation is promoting alternatives to animal research by many other ways, especially by informing scientists and university students about the modern, humane methods.

The Fund for Animal Welfare
The Juliana von Wendt Foundation has also the Fund for Animal Welfare, which supports research and communication efforts aimed at improving the health of livestock and other domestic animals, as well as their opportunities for natural behavior. Grants encourage researchers and producers to develop and adopt animal-friendly production methods.
