Abstract: This volume examines the conceptual, ethical, and practical challenges involved in defining and understanding the notion of benefit in animal research. While the harm dimension of animal experimentation has received considerable attention in the literature, the benefit side remains comparatively underexplored. In light of this gap, the report outlines the practical challenges that arise when defining the notion of benefit in animal research. It presents different approaches to understanding and defining ‘benefit’ in the context of animal research and discusses their respective advantages and disadvantages. Finally, it provides practical recommendations for animal research committee members, researchers, policymakers, and institutions involved in funding and conducting animal research.
