Preclinical research in Europe

Europe offers preclinical CROs in nearly every major country, with particular depth in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Scandinavia, and growing capacity in Central Europe, including Hungary and Poland.

EU member states follow Directive 2010/63/EU on animal research, and every country here adheres to the OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data system, so GLP studies run in Europe are accepted by FDA for US filings. Species availability and nonhuman primate import rules vary by country.
