Education

Increasing the awareness of animal welfare science is the best way to improve animal welfare

Many of our researcher are university teachers, thus educating academia trough bachelor, MSc and PhD courses is one of their main tasks.

We also collaborate with different vocational institutions lecturing animal welfare-related subjects, and lecture for NGOs, authorities, schools etc. interested stakeholders.

We have organized free public seminars "Animal welfare forum" yearly, since 2008. In these seminars were we highlight recent research results and science behind relevant animal welfare issues.
