The field of animal welfare is a cross-disciplinary area of study that is attracting increasing interest and funding and being asked to guide and inform legislation and practice relating to the use of animals, says the organisation, Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW). Much, however, still remains to be understood.
As part of its on-going commitment to improving the way we understand and care for animals, UFAW is holding the third of a series of one–day conferences on ‘Recent advances in animal welfare science’.
This regular meeting aims to provide a forum at which the broad community of scientists, veterinary surgeons and others concerned with animal welfare can come together to share knowledge and practice, discuss advances and exchange views.

The conference will have a technical component and a pledging component. Experts will present an analysis of the global FMD situation, the socio-economic impact of the disease, the progress achieved with existing regional FMD control initiatives and ‘state of the art’ overviews regarding vaccines, diagnostic
methods and current research.
This will be followed by presentation of the Global FMD Control Strategy, the tools and methods it will employ and the gaps and needs that should be addressed to achieve sustainable progress. The budget required to implement the strategy during the first five years will also be presented. Donors and representatives of FMD-free and FMD-affected countries and regions will have an opportunity to present their views.
The conference is expected to attract over 400 participants, including Chief Veterinary Officers and Directors of Animal Production, representatives of regional organisations, donor agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and industry and agricultural producer organisations. Ministers and other decision-makers will also be invited, in particular for the pledging component of the Conference.

During this conference, the organisers say that delegates will cross the borders to other scientific disciplines, focussing on the bridges that connect them with veterinary epidemiology and economics to create the multi disciplinary approach needed to solve many of today's research questions.
If you participate in a pre- or post-conference workshop, you will cross the border between The Netherlands and Belgium as well to visit Ghent. Both cities have a long and colourful history enabling you to taste the rich culture of the lowlands situated in the centre of Europe.

Antibiotics are essential tools for animal and human health and concerns over antibiotic resistance and their prudent use in animals have garnered global interest. Yet insufficient attention has been given to the scientific breakthroughs and novel technologies that provide alternatives to antibiotics.
The objectives of this symposium, subtitled ‘Challenges and Solutions in Animal Production’, are to highlight promising research results and novel technologies that provide alternatives to antibiotics, assess challenges associated with their commercialisation and use, and provide actionable strategies to support their development.
