The layout of the facility: The main site at the Panum Building consists of 9 animal units, the administration department, the central laboratory (both in building 16.1), the main service area (01) and the surgical unit (16.3). The site encompasses animal units in buildings 16 and 10. The three other sites operate as single units. These are The Copenhagen University Hospital named RH; August Krogh Building named AKB and the Biocenter. Please see Figure 1 below to see an overview of all the Department s sites: Figure 1. Overview of the Department s sites and units. B. Give a brief overview of the institution, its purpose and how the animal care and use programme relates to the mission of the institution. Mission and Scope The primary function of the Department is to assist researchers in their obligation to plan and carry out animal experiments in accordance with the highest scientific, humane and ethical principles. This is achieved by the development and maintenance of a comprehensive, high quality animal care program, which is in full compliance with National (https://www.retsinformation.dk/forms/r0710.aspx?id=2862) and European legislation. The revised Appendix A of the European Convention ETS 123 is fully implemented throughout the programme. (http://conventions.coe.int/treaty/en/treaties/html/123.htm). The Department is in full compliance with the European Union Directive (Directive 86/609/EEC on the protection of animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes: http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/environment/nature_and_biodiversity/l28104_en. htm) The University of Copenhagen is committed to the humane care and use of live animals used in research, teaching and testing at the University. The study of live vertebrates is essential to the University s fulfillment of its research and teaching mission. The use of live vertebrates for these purposes is a privilege, and carries with it the responsibility to 3 2/11

Specialized Core Facilities: Transgenic, Molecular Imaging, Radiation Treatment, Behavioural Studies, and the Rodent Metabolic Phenotyping Center. Read more on the DEPARTMENT s website regarding the mentioned core facilities: http://emed.ku.dk/forskerservice/corefaciliteter/ or the Faculty s website: http://healthsciences.ku.dk/research/corefacilities/. (See complete list of the Department s relevant facilities: http://emed.ku.dk/forskerservice/afsnit/#corefaciliteter) Four fully staffed animal research sites, in total roughly 9000 m 2 : at the Panum Institute, the National University Hospital, AKB and the Biocenter. C. Note that AAALAC International s three primary standards are the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals Used for Experimental and Other Scientific Purposes, Council of Europe (ETS 123); the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Guide), NRC, 2011; and the Guide for the Care and Use of Agricultural Animals in Research and Teaching (Ag Guide), FASS 2010.. Other regulations and guidelines used (e.g., Directive 2010/63, national legislation, GLP, etc) may also apply. Describe which of the three primary standards and other regulations and guidelines are used as standards for the institutional animal care and use programme and how they are applied. The Department is in full compliance with the European Convention for the Protection of Vertebrate Animals Used for Experimental and Other Scientific Purposes, Council of Europe (ETS 123), as mentioned above. The Department is also in full compliance with the European Union Directive (Directive 86/609/EEC on the protection of animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes), as well as Bekendtgørelse af lov om dyreforsøg, which is Danish legislation governing the use of animals in research. The Department is also in compliance with standards and classifications set by various authorities including Danish Working Environment Authority, Danish Enviromental Protection Agency, National Institute of Radiation Protection. 4 2/11

license owner, setup date, termination date, category and type of procedure, species, and other details, except for number of animals). A copy of the list is available in appendix 1; information about license owner has been left out for confidentiality reasons, but can be made available upon request. Teaching programs It is the responsibility of the Department to ensure that all personnel involved in animal care and use are appropriately qualified to conduct the proposed activities in accordance with EU legislation, national law, international guidelines and institutional regulations. All external personnel (investigators, assistants, laboratory technicians etc.) involved in animal care and use must, as a minimum have attended a course in laboratory animal science (FELASA B or above) to ensure the humane care and use of laboratory animals, the safety of all personnel, and compliance with above mentioned standards. See Danish legislation on the subject: ( Bekendtgørelse om kvalifikationskrav til personer der beskæftiger sig med dyreforsøg, BEK nr 1016 af 12/12/2001: https://www.retsinformation.dk/forms/r0710.aspx?id=1138&exp=1 ). Courses offered by the Department (http://emed.ku.dk/kurser/) Courses in laboratory animal science for technicians (B) and scientists (C) in compliance with the FELASA guidelines Course in laboratory animal science for human biology-students (FELASA C) Course in experimental surgery (post graduates, PhD students and technicians) Course in micro surgery (post graduates and PhD students) Course in toxicology (post graduates and PhD students) Animal Models in Research (post graduates, PhD students and technicians) Pain Recognition and Alleviation in Laboratory Rodents (post graduates, PhD students and technicians) Animal Behaviour (post graduates, PhD students and technicians) Other courses in collaboration with the Faculty of Life Sciences (http://www.ivs.life.ku.dk/default.aspx): http://campusstalden.ku.dk/kurser/. Number of principal investigators in the Department: 2 Principal investigators and 3 current PhD students. G. Note the source(s) of research funding (grants, contracts, etc.) involving the use of animals. The Danish State, including research councils and private foundations, are the principal funding sources for research (including research on laboratory animals) at the University of Copenhagen. The funding includes wages, premises and equipment, subsidizing the animal facility etc. Some investigators research at the facility is partly funded by private bodies, semi public and/or other sources of public funding. 9 2/11

H. List other units (divisions, institutes, areas, departments, colleges, etc.) of your organization that house and use animals that are not included in this Description. If any of these are contiguous, physically or operationally (e.g., same IACUC/OB, same animal care staff), with the applicant unit, describe the association. Explain why such units are not part of this programme application. The Core Facility for Transgenic Mice and the Rodent Metabolic Phenotyping Center are the only core facilities where animals are permanently housed. The animal care and use is administered by the Department of Experimental Medicine, which means that the same provisions apply for these core facilities. Table 1.
