GlaxoSmithKline laboratory animal welfare prize
To demonstrate its commitment to high standards of laboratory animal care and welfare, for 10 years RDS awarded an annual prize of €3000 and an inscribed plaque. The GlaxoSmithKline Laboratory Animal Welfare Prize, sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals, was the largest laboratory animal welfare prize in Europe. It was awarded to an individual or group working in Europe for "contributions to improvements in the welfare of animals in laboratory procedures or recommendations or techniques which reduce the number of animals required for laboratory procedures".
The prize was awarded every year from 1994 until 2003. In 1994, special prizes were awarded to Professor William Russell and the late Rex Burch to mark their pioneering contribution to laboratory animal welfare. They defined the concept of the 3 Rs - reduction, replacement and refinement - which has provided the framework for laboratory animal welfare and science over the last 30 years.

The GSK prize is now awarded by the National Centre for the Three Rs, based on different criteria.
