      Date

      Location
      Paris, France
      The European platform Ecopa is dedicated to the promotion of the 3R principle (refinement, reduction and replacement of animal experiments). It has teamed up with its national French component FRANCOPA to organize this scientific symposium, which should illustrate the tremendous potential offered by the new tools for the investigation in life sciences. This symposium will allow the stakeholders from the four pillars of Ecopa to find new ways to structure the ethical debate on experiments, at a time where the new tools soften the distinction between experiment and observation, as well as they break some borders between disciplines.

      PMIScience.com is operated by Philip Morris International for the purpose of publishing and disseminating scientific information about Philip Morris International’s efforts to develop and assess products that have the potential to reduce individual risk and population harm associated with tobacco use.

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
