Two-day Animal Welfare Conference

University of Copenhagen, Danish Centre for Animal Welfare (DCAW) and the Nordic Network for Communicating Animal Welfare (NordCAW) are arranging a two-day conference on animal welfare.

Day 1 (October 3) – hosted by DCAW
Will focus on how animal welfare is perceived by farmers and consumers as well as specific animal welfare schemes and initiatives both from governments (Danish and German welfare labelling) and industry (Welfur). The way in which these schemes and initiatives may give added value to the product, as well as increased welfare will be addressed.

Day 2 (October 4) – hosted by NordCAW
Will mainly focus on the application of animal-based welfare indicators in animal welfare assessment and if animal-based indicators can be implemented in legislation. Both practical and legal aspects will be covered, as well as the concerns of the citizens and consumers.

Admission fee: Participation is free, but registration is mandatory. (Use the link here below)
