In addition, the conference will feature a workshop and a debate forum.
The workshop, led by Professor Melissa Bateson (University of Newcastle, UK), will be on how to improve study design in animal welfare research.
The forum will be an open debate to discuss the pros, the cons, and the challenges associated with animal welfare labelling of food products. It will feature talks from Professor Siobhan Mullan (University College Dublin, Ireland) and Professor Frank Tuyttens (IVLO and Ghent University, Belgium).
These will run concurrently on the afternoon of the 29th.
