All sessions are being recorded to watch on demand and will be posted on-line on the evening of each day (UK time). Finally, please help us keep these meetings free and open to all. Spreading the message about animal welfare science as far and wide as possible is one of UFAW’s key objectives. We make our meetings free to ensure access for those who could not otherwise attend. However, running our meetings is costly and involves an enormous effort from UFAW’s staff. As a charity, supported entirely by donations, we can only keep meetings free and run our other activities with your support. If you are in a position to do so, please consider making a donation when you register. If you have any questions about the event, please contact me.
