The Swedish Institute invests in animal welfare

The call for applications for funding for projects in the Baltic Sea Region aims to strengthen Sweden's relations with, and cooperation between, the Baltic countries and other neighbouring countries. The Swedish Centre for Animal Welfare will use the money to contribute to setting up a Nordic-Baltic animal welfare centre, to establish a network of animal welfare experts, working with antibiotics and human-health releated issues as well as identifying the difficulties in implementing EU food safety legislation.

The project will run from May 2017 to November 2018.
