The fourth Animal Welfare Science Symposium 2019

The international plenary speakers for each of the three themes are:

Negative Animal Welfare: Alistair Lawrence, Professor of Animal Behaviour and Welfare at Scotland's Rural College.

Positive Animal Welfare: Melissa Bateson, Professor of Ethology at Newcastle University, UK.

Animal Welfare Policy: Eddie Bokkers, Associate Professor in the Animal Production Systems group of Wageningen University and Research, the Netherlands.

The symposium is directed towards researchers involved in animal and veterinary sciences, human-animal interactions, ethics, policy and law, economics and marketing, among other areas. The concept for this symposium is to advance the broad subject of animal welfare, by providing a friendly scientific forum for researchers to share and discuss their results and ideas. The programme offers short presentations from participants, primarily early stage researchers, as well as longer plenary talks from invited speakers as well as group discussions. 

The symposium is arranged in collaboration with the platform SLU Future Animals, Nature and Health.
