Information on how animals are being used for experiments and other scientific or teaching purposes is key to understanding both the benefits and the drawbacks and limitations of such use has led the Spanish Confederation of Scientific Societies (COSCE), which groups together over 70 scientific societies representing 40,000 Spanish scientists, to put forward the "COSCE Proposal".

The UAB supports and adheres to this agreement of transparency on the use of animals in scientific experiments, which claims that information must be realistic, both in the description of results and regarding the impact on animal welfare and the possible ethical considerations of this practice.
