WELCOME TO THE NETWORK

Welcome to the BBSRC Animal Welfare Research Network (AWRN) website. The Network is currently funded by a grant from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). Some of the funds for this are being provided by the Animal Welfare R&D budget held jointly across Defra, Scottish Government and Welsh Government. It aims to bring together the UK animal welfare research community, researchers in related areas, and stakeholders with interests in animal welfare, to identify important research topics, increase collaboration, and support and encourage research activities.
