Centre of Excellence in Animal Welfare Science

The Centre of Excellence in Animal Welfare Science is a Swedish network for researchers in natural and social sciences - establishing scientific excellence to improve animal welfare. The network is coordinated by SLU.

Our six goals aiming to improve animal welfare:

To provide a dynamic scientific forum for discussion
To promote cooperative efforts by joining different competences
To produce high quality peer reviewed publications
To provide a supportive environment for students and young researchers to develop their career in animal welfare
To support stakeholders to safeguard and improve animal welfare
To enhance Sweden's reputation as a leading nation in animal welfare

Activities

The Animal Welfare Science Symposium to return in 2022 After a two year break due to covid, the symposium tradition will start again in spring 2022. The aim for next year is for us to get a new chance to hear plenary speakers scheduled for the last cancelled symposium. Hope to see you there! The symposium is directed towards researchers in animal and veterinary sciences, human-animal interactions, ethics, economics, policy and law to discuss their results and ideas in a broad animal welfare context.
