First European Animal
Welfare Symposium
1st EUROPEAN ANIMAL WELFARE SYMPOSIUM
COMMITMENT
“Ensure
the welfare
of our animals”
This symposium arises from the need to create a meeting point to bring together all of the agents involved in looking after and ensuring the welfare of animals, and it aspires to be a relevant forum for all of the links in the meat sector production chain, particularly in the field of meat ruminants. It will be the world’s first meeting of these characteristics and dimensions to address all aspects that guarantee animal welfare from the scientific field.
The objective is for scientists, technicians, producers, certifiers, farmers and different stakeholders in the chain debate and analyse the animal welfare situation within the European Union from a scientific and technical point of view. Special attention will be paid to aspects related to the application of the legislative proposals that affect the farming reality and the contribution of accredited certification systems, such as tools to grant full objectivity guarantees in the assessment of the welfare of animals to all parties involved: farmers, distribution chain, consumers and Public Administrations.
The organitation and technical secretariat of the Symposium is the responsibility of the Spanish Association for Animal Protection and Welfare (SEPROBA) and the scientific committee is made up of six scientists and technicians with proven experience in the field.
The registration period closes on 19 September, until which date interested parties can submit their papers for dissemination at the Symposium.
The venue will be the Representation of the European Commission in Spain, located at Paseo de la Castellana, 46 in the capital. The event will be held on Monday 14 November this year.
This Symposium emerges as an annual European event and will be held at a different venue each year in order to foster scientific and technical debate in relation to European animal welfare.
If you would like to participate, you can register free of charge.
